Hello,

The problem with using something like pl/sql to access the MapPoint web service is dealing with the Digest Authentication. Working with the web service isn't difficult although you can easily build an application that is very complex. I wouldn't base the complexity of working with MapPoint on the SpatialPoint application or some other demo app because demo apps usually are designed to highlight MapPoint functionality, not necessarily built for performance or simplicity. Take a look at the small code snippets in the SDK, it can be as simple as uploading data, sending a set of arguments, receiving some xml, and parsing it.
