[Gvsig_english] gvSIG now connects to Oracle Spatial

Hello Mario,
it is very cool that there is now the possibility to connect also to Oracle.
I have 2 questions on this extension:
1) The administrator of our oracleDB said that a table for this DB contains at 
least two columns: GEOM of type mdsys.sdo_geometry and OGR_FID, type 
number(38) - is this supported by the new extension?
2) I installed the new extension on a standalone computer, as I do not yet 
have the permission to connect to the database. When I open gvSIG on this 
computer now, I can acces the GeoBD-dialogue in the add-layer dialogue. 
However, I do not see an option Oracle spatial or something like this; only 
HSQLDB, mysql and PostGIS JDBC is displayed- is this ok? Does gvSIG 
automatically add this option, if there's an oracle client installed on the 
machine? gvSIG is installed on a debian sarge machine.

Any comments are appreciated.
Best regards,
Wolfgang
