[OSM-newbies] Using OpenStreetMap with an Oracle PL/SQL API

[infowire at btinternet.com]

Dear everyone

I am currently doing some work in Oracle and I wish to link in OpenStreetMap 
data with my work.

What I would like to do is take a small defined section of OSM data, along 
with my own data, and display it on screen using Oracle's MapViewer. I would 
like to do this using the PL/SQL API that Oracle provides. Is such a thing 
possible?

My reasons for doing this are that my data is already stored in Oracle and I 
do not have much knowledge of Pearl Scripts, C++, JavaScripts' or Java. I 
know their are at least two APIs for OpenStreetMap, assuming I can't link in 
OpenStreetMap using the PL/SQL API, but I am not certain how easy it would 
be to link this into my PL/SQL code, assuming that was possible. Especially 
as my code may end up only consisting of HTML and PL/SQL code.

I don't really want to download and insert OSM data directly into my Oracle 
database as that would require me to update the data manually from time to 
time, unless anyone knows away of doing that automatically. Equally I'm not 
bothered about having the data update every time I the display the data. I 
just need something that is automatic or at least semi-automatic. Something 
that saves me having to manually update the data or even have to remember to 
update it. I hope that makes sense.

Kind regards

Tim
