[aprssig] Oracle connection ?

[scott at opentrac.org]

Andrew, what version of Oracle is it?  If you can get the Spatial extension,
it's pretty cool for APRS use.  You can import shapefiles and run spatial
queries.  For example, I imported shapefiles of all the country borders in
the world and all the states and counties in the US, plus the national
transportation atlas database.  Once that's done you can easily do a query
to, for example, select all stations in New Zealand.  Or all stations within
10 miles of Interstate 40 in Oklahoma.  Or all stations within 5 miles of an
airport.
