[OSM-talk] Using Open Street Map data with other websites via Oracle

[Timothy Fintan Langner]

Dear Robert

Thank you for your reply. I will have a look at the links you sent me and 
see whether I can make of use. As I am only after a define part of the 
dataset (since my maps only cover Brighton & Hove), I may end up doing a 
static manual import. However if I could get Oracle to load in a defined 
area from the Open Street Map automatically, everytime someone wants to view 
it, on top of the historical maps then that would be even better. However as 
my programming skills are not currently the greatest, that may not happen. I 
am hoping that my programming skills will be greatly improved by the end of 
my dissertation and that I will have a useable website.

Kind regards

Timothy Langner
