Convert non-LRS point to LRS-point

Question

Can you please show me how to convert a non-LRS point to a LRS point?
The sdo_lrs.convert_to_lrs_geom function does not work with points. It returns an error:
ORA-06531: Reference to uninitialized collection
ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.SDO_LRS", line 1767
Thanks

Answer 1

I got around this by creating a sql script of insert statements to insert LRS points into another table:
spool c:\temp\convert_to_lrs_pt.sql
set serveroutput on
declare
x number;
y number;
z number;
CURSOR POINTS_CURSOR IS
SELECT GEOM,FID FROM INV_TRFC_STN where fid < 3000;
myCURSOR POINTS_CURSOR%ROWTYPE;
begin
DBMS_OUTPUT.ENABLE(1000000);
for myCURSOR in POINTS_CURSOR
LOOP
x := myCURSOR.geom.sdo_point.x;
y := myCURSOR.geom.sdo_point.y;
dbms_output.put_line ('insert into test2 values ');
dbms_output.put_line ('(mdsys.sdo_geometry(3001,41141,NULL,mdsys.sdo_elem_info_array(1,1,1),');
dbms_output.put_line ('mdsys.sdo_ordinate_array(' &#0124; &#0124; x &#0124; &#0124; ',' &#0124; &#0124; y &#0124; &#0124; ', NULL)),' &#0124; &#0124; myCURSOR.FID &#0124; &#0124; ');');
end loop;
end;
spool off
But if there is another way I would really like to know.
Thanks
