BCGW OGR Extract

Created a script that will iterate over all the objects in a schema and dump them them to S3 object storage. In order to do this needed a gdal ogr install that had OCI (oracle call interface) included in the compile.

Most of the existing binaries gdal / ogr do not include this feature. Created the following document which goes over how to compile ogr from source.

• BCGW to PGDUMP Script
• BCGW to CSV Script
• HOWTO: compile gdal / ogr with oracle support
• HOWTO: using qgis gdal
