[OSM-dev] OSM 2 Oracle

[Amir Pourabdollah]

Hi,
Let me add that I don't need incremental updates to be converted. Just the current map is wanted.

osm2pgsql has not been designed (if designed at all) with various backends
in mind but contains pretty much hardcoded assumptions about the Database in
use. I'm afraid redesigning it in such a way (which would of course be nice)
would grow into a complete rewrite.

The hard thing to do in such a converter are incremental updates and
multipolygon conversion. IMO the two features keeping the people still using
osm2pgsql after all.

I don't know the achitecture of imposm but maybe this one is designed with
multiple backends in mind.

Regards

Sven
