[Gvsig_english] Remarks and questions about gvSIG 1.1 (rc2)

[Wolfgang Qual]

Hi Sergio,
thanks for your response. I have copied that oracle driver. Connection to the 
database is poassible - I can load layers without a problem. I'll contact the 
admin of the database. Maybe it is a problem caused by limited access.
I'll keep you informed.

Regards,
Wolfgang
