Hi All...
 
Hopefully someone can spot what I'm missing on this problem:
 
I have a table in Oracle, and I want to work with this table live in MapInfo. It originates from a standard table, and I have added a spatial column (based on the easting and northing columns), a MI_PRINX column (number(38)) and populated this with a unique number. I have also added a MI_STYLE column.
 
I have populated the USER_SDO_METADATA table accordingly.
 
When I come to "Make DBMS table mappable" in MapInfo, I fill in the dialog box accordingly, and for Set Table Bounds, if I select Use Data Bounds, I then get the following error boxes:
 
"Unable to download only the OBJECT from an DBMS table. Select an additional attribute column."
 
followed by:
 
"The table you have chosen cannot be made mappable. To be made mappable, a table must contain a spatial column, or at least two numeric columns."
 
I have done this before with other tables, and it has worked so I'm not sure where I've gone wrong.
 
If I select the Use Coordsys Bounds for the Set Table Bounds, then it works and the table is made mappable. I then can't open the table for Live Access, I get the following message:
 
Cannot Open Table for Lice Access. A single numeric key column is required on the table. etc.
 
I can, however, open the table in Linked Table format (Download data).
 
Anyone got any ideas?
 
Many thanks!
 
Thomas
