Oracle Spatial 10g R2 Java API

Hi All,
I have a JAVA tool said to be written for Oracle Spatial 10g R2 Java API which uses for example the class oracle.spatial.georaster.JGeoRaster. I have to port it to 11g R2. The tool is definitely written for an earlier version, because compilation fails on for example JGeoRaster.getProperties() method which is not present in the new API. For this new API I have a fine Javadoc documentation here:
http://download-llnw.oracle.com/docs/html/E11829_01/
I have searched for a similar one for 10g R2 but found only like
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14373/toc.htm
which misses the oracle.spatial.georaster package. Is there such a package and if so, where can I find docs for it?
thank you in advance, best regards: Balázs Bámer

Hi Balázs,
the GeoRaster Java API was first released with 11gR2. Your first link points to that, or this link:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e11829/toc.htm
your second link points to 10g Oracle Spatial Java API, which doesn't include any GeoRaster related API. your tool might have been developed based on the old INTERNAL georaster jar file, which is not supposed to be used by your java program. But if you do want the api doc, you can run javadoc or jdeveloper to find out the api from the old sdogr.jar file.

Oracle Spatial 10g

Hello all
I would like to know if is it possible to install the 10g Spatial functionality in a previous version of the database (8.1.7).
We want to work with Oracle Spatial + ArcSDE (with versioning and Spatial as Geometry Storage) + ArcGIS-ArcIMS, but the editing software will be AutoCAD.
We will get from the database those elements whe want to edit and put it then in AutoCAD layers . To limit the traffic, we only need the geographic primitives (points and arc, but no polygons), but as we are editing polygons, we need a process that rebuild topology. I think that the new Oracle Spatial 10 g topological functionalities could help us (so we can insert arcs in a table and get the polygons they are building, and dangle arcs).
I suppose it will not be possible to edit directly to the geodatabase feature class if it is versioned (so all the changes will appear as consolidated), but, is it possible (and of course, easy) to rebuild via SQL an ArcSDE version?
And finally:
Can (and how) we use Oracle WorkSpace Manager whit ArcSDE??? , and only with AutoCAD? Any experience? I´m thinking about spatial index and mdsys metadata table. Must be these tables registered as "versioned" with Oracle WorkSpace Manager to work with spatial data?
Thank you for all
Jesús de Diego

Hello all again
First of all, thank you for your quick reply.
I can explain a bit more what we wanna do:
we're in a multi-platform environ. We've ArcGIS users, AutoCAD users and a ArcSDE DB. We don't want AutoCAD users to migrate to ArcEditor, but they need to edit corporative (DB) data, and, in the other hand, there will be others editors using ArcEditor capabilities, so it is possible we will need versioned (ArcSDE) data.
I think we can edit an ArcSDE version vía AutoCAD:
1º Data storage will be Oracle Spatial.
2º A new version over the default will be created.
3º When an AutoCAD editor request spatial data, we can, vía SQL, get the sdo_geometry (here is when i need to rebuild a complete version....)
4º We load these spatial data into diferents layer in a dwg (in we can get only the geographic primitives, this will be faster)
5º CAD users edit the information and when they finish, load arc and points (lables) into 2 temporal tables, when arcCatalog can rebild polygon topology ....
6º Once polygons have been rebuilded, can be sended to AutoCAD again so Oracle Spatial SQL queries can be used in AutoCAD against the DB.
7º Finally, could we insert the new records into A and D tables?, and how? using simply SQL (again we need to rebuild a version....)
I'm all ears.......
Thank you again

How to use Oracle Spatial in this scenario

My scenario is like that:
I'm very new to Oracle Spatial
I'm building an application that will be based on asp.net.(I am
confident about .net)
As per my client requirement there are some kml file in one archive
folder.
Let me give an example:
say there is a kml file for region A.(latitude say 36 n to 40 n and
longitude is 110 w to 115 w) already in the archive folder.
Now if a new kml file(say A1.kml) that has been created by the user
and say its latitude and longitude are respectively 37n and 112w. As we clicked A.kml, google earth is opened up for the region A and as
we move our mouse cursor to more deeper more polygons are visible.
eventually polygon for A1.kml is also visible and definitely which is
inside the polygon for region A.
How can I achieve this thing by using oracle spatial 10g? ---(it's one of my senior's advice to use "oracle spatial 10g" in this scenario)
I'm not too sure whether I can able to make it clear to u about my
situation; plz xcuse me if I'm wasting ur valuable time.

Uploading bulk data in oracle spatial

Hi,
I need to upload a map data in (input is ESRI File geodatabase) in Oracle Spatial using ArcSDE.
I have Oracle spatial 10g, ArcGIS desktop 9.3. I am able to connect the oracle spatial data using arcsde and i am able to view those maps in arcmap. Also, i am able to upload small esri shape files in oracle spatial using esri arccatalog through arcsde.
I would like to know, the steps to be followed to upload a road network for North america (around 15gb) data as SDO. If there is any document available it will be more useful for me.
Or pls. share your experience in this.
Thanks,
Vadivelan. P

Yikes,
You won't require 150 gig of undo to load your data with ESRI tools. Noel might need to start a new thread to discuss that issue as his bulk loader may need some tuning. :p
All ESRI bulk loaders use a rather modest auto-commit. ArcCatalog is 1000 records and sdeimport is 2000 records by default. So after loading that many records the tool does a commit and thus avoids much undo at all. You can easily change this number to tune performance (higher for point data, lower for huge honkin' polygons) in the parameters.
At this point I would say the heck with all these torpedoes and give your load a try. You stated in the very first thread that you have loaded shapefiles successfully into Oracle Spatial so the assumption is you have your dbtune keywords setup and are all set with the issues of mapping ESRI coordinate systems into Oracle Spatial. So full steam ahead! Another idea would be to load a small subset of the data and make sure its correct to your needs before doing the whole thing. My opinion is I don't think you need to worry about the 15 gig size of the load. Yes it will take some time to do but I would bet whatever problems you run into are the same you would face with a 15 meg load.
Cheers and good luck,
Paul

Creating an Oracle Spatial database in 10g and connecting ArcGIS

I have a set of shapefiles that I want to convert into Oracle Spatial 10g and then be able to view these with the capability of ArcGIS 9 (without using ArcSDE).
From what I've read, I think this could be done by using ODBC. Once that connection is made, will I then be able to use the full functionality of ArcGIS especially read/write functions to edit the information in Oracle Spatial?
What data formats does Oracle Spatial in 10g support. I am concerned about raster data, CAD data, Survey data etc

The shape files can be loaded into Oracle spatial using shp2sdo.exe available on web.To view the GIS data in ArcGIS ,ArcGIS needs the layers to be registered.Therefore you need Arcsde for registering the layers.But for viewing the data in Arcgis we do not need arcsde ,we can view the data using direct connect.For editing the data we can use ODBC connection.
About raster data,we can load tiff,jpeg,bmp,png,gif using georaster tools provided by oracle into georaster tables.
Thanks

SDO_NN with Oracle Spatial

Hello,
although the description of my problem is a bit long, I hope you could help me.
I would like to compute the nearest neighbor of a point being located on the surface of the unit sphere.
For that query, I would like to take advantage of the features provided by Oracle Spatial (10g).
Table spatial_test contains the columns point_name, x, y, z, ra, dec where:
point_name is the primary key
x, y, z are the coordinates of the points on the unit sphere (so x^2+y^2+z^2=1)
ra, dec are the the concerning spherical coordinates where the following conditions hold: x=cos(dec)*cos(ra) , y=cos(dec)*sin(ra), z=sin(dec).
For computing the nearest neighbor of a point with point_name='point1' the query without using Oracle Spatial is:
select * from(
select
acos(t1.x*t2.x+t1.y*t2.y+t1.z*t2.z) as distance, t1.*
from spatial_test t1,
spatial_test t2
where t2.point_name='point1'
and t1.name != t2.name
order by dist
where rownum<2;
For taking advantage of Oracle Spatial, I have to prepare my data doing the following five steps:
1. add a column to of type SDO_GEOMETRY to table spatial_test
2. insert values to that table
3. update table user_sdo_geom_metadata
4. create the spatial index
5. execute the following query on the amended table spatial_test:
SELECT t1.point_name name1, t2.point_name name2 FROM spatial_test t1, spatial_test t2
WHERE SDO_NN(t2.geom, t1.geom, 'sdo_num_res=2') = 'TRUE'
and t1.point_name = 'point1'
and t1.point_NAME != t2.point_name
As mentioned in the User Guide for Oracle Spatial, only two dimensional objects are supported.
So, if I insert tuples in the following form to my table:
insert into spatial_test (point_name, x, y, z, geom) values (..., ..., ..., ...,
SDO_GEOMETRY(3001,
NULL, --SDO_SRID is null, so no coordinate system is associated with the geometry
SDO_POINT_TYPE(x_value, y_value, z_value),
NULL,
NULL));
I won't get the correct results. I assume that the z_value is just ignored. Am I right with that assumption?
For using Oracle Spatial, I have to use the equivalent just using two dimensions. Since ra, dec is another representation for x, y, z, I tried to do the same, just using ra and dec. But here, my results also differ from the ones computed with my own computation of the nearest neighbor.
Here an minimal example which shows my problem:
CREATE TABLE spatial_test(
point_name varchar(20) PRIMARY KEY,
x float,
y float,
z float,
ra float,
dec float,
geom SDO_GEOMETRY);
-- INSERT POINTS --
insert into spatial_test(point_name, x, y, z, ra, dec, geom) values ('point1', -0.00472924, 0.110927216, 0.99381728, 92.44125, 83.62542,
SDO_GEOMETRY(2001, -- 2 dimensions, last dimension is the measure, geometry type 01 = point
NULL, --SDO_SRID is null, so no coordinate system is associated with the geometry
SDO_POINT_TYPE(92.44125, 83.62542, null),
NULL,
NULL));
insert into spatial_test(point_name, x, y, z, ra, dec, geom) values ('point2', -0.00239923, 0.112814014, 0.993613226, 91.21833, 83.52097,
SDO_GEOMETRY(2001, -- 2 dimensions, last dimension is the measure, geometry type 01 = point
NULL, --SDO_SRID is null, so no coordinate system is associated with the geometry
SDO_POINT_TYPE(91.21833, 83.52097, null),
NULL,
NULL));
insert into spatial_test(point_name, x, y, z, ra, dec, geom) values ('point3', -0.00701052, 0.122780703, 0.992409065, 93.26792, 82.93584,
SDO_GEOMETRY(2001, -- 2 dimensions, last dimension is the measure, geometry type 01 = point
NULL, --SDO_SRID is null, so no coordinate system is associated with the geometry
SDO_POINT_TYPE(93.26792, 82.93584, null),
NULL,
NULL));
-- UPDATA user_sdo_geom_metadata --
INSERT INTO user_sdo_geom_metadata
(TABLE_NAME,
COLUMN_NAME,
DIMINFO,
SRID)
VALUES (
'spatial_test',
'geom',
MDSYS.SDO_DIM_ARRAY(
MDSYS.SDO_DIM_ELEMENT('ra', 0.0, 360.0, 0.0000000000001),
MDSYS.SDO_DIM_ELEMENT('dec', -90.0, 90.0, 0.0000000000001)
NULL -- no specific coordinate system should be associated with the geometries.
-- CREATE THE SPATIAL INDEX --
CREATE INDEX spatial_test_idx
ON spatial_test(geom)
INDEXTYPE IS MDSYS.SPATIAL_INDEX;
Now I could execute the following queries which should both compute the nearest neighbor of 'point1'.
This is the statement computing the nearest neighbor without Oracle Spatial:
select * from(
select
acos(t1.x*t2.x+t1.y*t2.y+t1.z*t2.z) as distance, t2.point_name p1, t1.point_name p2
from spatial_test t1,
spatial_test t2
where t2.point_name='point1'
and t1.point_name != t2.point_name
order by distance
where rownum<2;
RESULT:
DISTANCE P1 P2
,003005107 point1 point2
With the following statement, I compute the nearest neighbor of 'point1' using Oracle Spatial:
SELECT t1.point_name name1, t2.point_name name2 FROM spatial_test t1, spatial_test t2
WHERE SDO_NN(t2.geom, t1.geom, 'sdo_num_res=2') = 'TRUE'
and t1.point_name = 'point1'
and t1.point_NAME != t2.point_name;
RESULT:
NAME1 NAME2
point1 point3
As you see, unfortunately, the two results differ.
Could you please tell me, what I understood wrong in using Oracle Spatial?
In addition, what kind of coordinate system is assumed if it isn't specified in my SDO_GEOMETRY? Which kind of distance is computed using sdo_nn (euclidean distance, ...)?
Would be glad, if you could tell how to reach the same results for my nearest neighbors using Oracle Spatial.
Regards,
Ina

I would like to compute the nearest neighbor of a
point being located on the surface of the unit
sphere.That would be a spherical 3D computation. Currently, OS does not work well with 3D such as spheres, sorry. I know R2 was supposed to improve on this for cubes and pyramids, but to be honest; I havent had time to go back and test the simple cube operations. With 10gR1, for most of the operators and functions 2,2,3 and 2,2,5 are same point. I know this is something that is being worked on, possibly Dan can comment further.
See for more info:
Re: 3D Polygon
For now, if you have your own routines, Id use them as a package instead. If you need help there, let us know and well try to point you in the right direction or help you to translate the code to PL/SQL.

Autodesk Land Desktop 2005 and Oracle Spatial

I'm trying to connect Autodesk Land Desktop 20054 to Oracle Spatial 10g, I created tables in Oracle schema as described in the guide but when I try to connect I have in return the error message "Options table is not valid".I don't know what is wrong..
thanks in advance
alice

Hi Alice,
You dont have to create any tables in oracle.
In LDT, log in as a superuser.
type maposeadmin (OSE), {now autodesk has come up with FDO concept too.}
and rest all is self explanatory. ie., saving feature metadata, creating feature tables layer wise. Now eport the data. Now once again, type maposeadmin and then update the extents, then create index.You are ready to read the data back again to LDT. You can check the same in SQL plus too as to how autodesk stores its schema. Its totally different.
Hope this helps.

Nandakishore.
