OCI driver Error ORA-21301 not initialized in object mode

[gtmapping]

http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/browser/trunk/gdal/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/oci/ogrocisession.cpp

In the above linked file the OCIEnvironment is being initialized in OCI_DEFAULT mode on some if statements. this causes error ORA-21301 when trying to load spatial data into oracle database with views (not tables) listed in the oracle metadata table. i belive because it thinks its not going to be deailing with objects it switches to a if statement where it only has OCI_DEFAULT. if no spatial views in database then driver works fine.

you can launch the session handshake in bot OIC_DEFAULT mode and OCI_OBJECT mode as listed on line 139 of ogrocisession.cpp. if the object component isn't used it doesn't cause any harm... just a object cache that is unused.

so can someone please change lines listed below to have OCI_DEFAULT replaced with

OCI_DEFAULT | OCI_OBJECT

What exactly fails for you? I have spatial views in Oracle and I do get errors like this ERROR 1: ORA-04043: Object ...._VIEW does not exist in OCIDescribeAny.

However, despite of those messages I have not experienced problems with creating new tables or appending data to existing ones with ogr2ogr.

i get the same message for each view in the database (ORA-04043) and it would aprea that it dosent stop it because it doesn't stop till it get to ORA-21301

and i can run it fine on oracle 11g express edition but doing the same process on oracle 11g enterprise i get the ORA-21301 message.

i tested using the same permitions as the user i use on express edition and as a user with absolutly every administrator permition as dba. with same results

when i investigated the ORA-21301 message all i could find was oracle application developers saying its because the sessions was initialized in OCI_DEFAULT mode and not OCI_OBJECT mode. checking the source for the ORG_OCI.dll driver i found a few if statements that only use OCI_DEFAULT mode.

so i assumed it was the ORA-04043 error making it go to one of the other if statements that only has OCI_DEFAULT mode...

the process creates the table name, fields and field types for the table but it doesn't insert any data into that table.

i tried this on already having the table created in the database as well but to no avail.

so as i said i have no problem using the same commands on 11g express edition but it wont work on 11g enterprise.

Actual Error ORA-21301: not initialized in object mode in OCIObjectNew(elem_info)
