Before you Begin Creating a Map Catalog Table - MapInfo_Pro - 2023

You will use MapInfo EasyLoader to create a Map Catalog table in the database you wish to work with. MapInfo EasyLoader installs with MapInfo Pro.

Before you begin, you must alert your database administrator to the following:

• You require administrator privileges to read and write to the database server. Even if you only read tables on the server, you still require write access to have MapInfo EasyLoader create and then have MapInfo Pro write to the Map Catalog table.
• MapInfo EasyLoader creates a MAPINFO schema at the server level while creating the Map Catalog table.
• MapInfo EasyLoader creates a MAPINFO user for the database.

Your database administrator may want to manually set up your database access, thus bypassing the need to use MapInfo EasyLoader. If your database administrator wants to create the Map Catalog table manually.

Instructions are available under Manually Creating a MapInfo_MapCatalog.
