mvclient.jar (size 134K)
- From: C:/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/md/lib
sdoapi.jar (size 14K)
- You need a patched sdoutl.jar. To get this go to:

ojdbc14.jar (size 1501K)
- Create Indexes in the database that the Mapviewer needs:
Note do this after you import the data in your db.
- Log in to mapdb.
- "Tables"
- in "Object Name" enter GA_Counties (see the importer file on how it names this)
