I have just started a University project to read Geospatial map data, cartesian coordinates x and y, from an ORACLE database onto a web page as SVG. Hopefully I can then read data attributes and requery the database using them. Do you have any knowledge of the best method to translate data from ORACLE to SVG. I believe I can retrieve data from ORACLE(8i) into XML format. If this is true how would I then transform to SVG - any help appreciated(a lot)!! Regards

  If you manage to get an XML output from your Oracle database, then I suggest you have a look at XSLT. However, you might need some tricky computations in order to convert your coordinates to SVG data, then you can consider using "standard" XSLT extensions EXSLT or generate SVG from your XML file using a programming language (like Perl). There is a nice Perl, XML and SVG article on XML.com, have a look. Hope this helps,
