   When you say 'Oracle Back End' .... does the application use Oracle's   
   Spatial option or Oracle Locator functionality?  (Locator is a subset of   
   Spatial used to store adn retrieve GIS coordinate maps.)  Or does it use a   
   customized method of storing the data.  (IOW, what is the data type of the   
   column that's giving the problem - try givng us a 'DESCRIBE' on the table.)   
      
   Versions of Oracle, and version of operating system, would be useful.   
      
   Finally, you extracted the data - seemingly using Toad.  You apparently did   
   not use Oracle's export/import tools.  Any specific reason?
