Its only a 2-days job at maximum to incorporate Oracle Spatial
or any other SFSQL database. Well - in case the compliance to SFSQL
is actually fully given.

For the integration of OGR we currently simply lack manpower.
Also all the new fomrats might introduce new problems ... ?

The roadmap until 1.0 more or less covers what the man power of
Intevation is able to carry out. Plus the volunatary help of the
translators of course.
