Geocoding Remote

Tables

In addition to geocoding MapInfo native format (TAB) and other supported table
formats as described in

Supported File Formats

, MapMarker can geocode

tables that are stored on remote database systems. MapMarker geocodes
remote relational databases via ODBC, an open database connectivity
standard. MapMarker uses ODBC to access the data and store the resulting
geocoding data and spatial object remotely. This ensures that data integrity and
security are maintained.

The general process of geocoding these databases is the same as for local
tables, but this chapter covers the information specific to remote table
geocoding.
