Markus,
Sorry for my late reply it had been awhile since I was here at SDN
I did it manually in the 'old' way and at that time it did work.
Kulvir,
I did get it from SAPnet but when I downloaded it it contained the proper file.But I did had the same with an add-on for the business connector which only contained an empty file.
Thanks for your answers and again sorry for my late reply back to you all

Nice to have a EXPERT in this FORUM...!!
Hi Dan, if you look at my reply I mentioned that I had loaded loc_updates.sql
From my previous reply:
execute loc_updates.sql which doenot update any of the rows since if you look at the syntax in loc_updates.sql file it shows update the table customers whose customer_id=344.
Where is this customer_id=344 coming from?
Also the datatype is a number.
Dan, were you able to get the results as desired?
or may be I am missing something...
Thanks and Regards,
Nandakishore.

Server Hardware for Oracle Database 11g Release 2 with Oracle Spatial

Hi ,
We're to set up an Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Enterprise with Oracle Spatial.
Can you provide me the possible Server Hardware CPU / Memory specs , number of CPUs,type of OS and teh Model, for Spatial which a million users hits the database via a webservice?
The vendor suggested us SDD instead of HDD, any performance hike on this?
Budget seems to okay but I think Exadata will be too dear.
Your insights is much appreciated.Anything relating to setting up a server with spatial is greatly appreciated.
P/S: Been a programmer and don't knwo much about server hardware specs.

It depends.
Seriously - before anyone can offer anything but generalities here you need to really define exactly what you expect the database to deliver.
In general however, I will throw out these questions and ideas...
For instance - you say a million users "hit" the database (via a web service). Is that WFS, WMS, KML or ???
Over - how long? A year? A month? A minute? A million hits over a year spread out evenly is only about 2 per minute.
And what is a hit? A single random record? Or about 10,000 records in the same spatial area... or? And for each record - are you returning simple point data - or hugely complex polygons with thousands of vertexes each?
How does this software work? Is it custom - or is it well known? Does it really query the database for every map (I assume it is a map service) feature - or does it read an area once and cache it in the middle tier? Or does it do something really smart and use cached tiles for static data - overlayed with vectors for dynamic data?
And although you say Oracle Spatial - are you really using Spatial - or just Locator functions (less processing in general)? And if spatial - are you doing raster in the db - or 3D analysis - or other special functionality?
SSD vs. HDD. - If you can buy a server with more RAM than the data set size (pretty easy these days) - and you do mostly reads (almost always the case for a map app) - buy a small cheap array of RAID'd HDD's - internal to the server is fine. Once the data is read into RAM - the HDD's do basically nothing.
Server CPU and memory. Amount - see above. CPU Speed (use performance benchmarks - not GHz numbers) AND memory speed (often overlooked) - buy as fast as possible. Why? You pay for licenses by the core (2 cores per license for x64). And HW is MUCH MUCH MUCH cheaper than Oracle licenses. Plan to upgrade HW every year if necessary to avoid buying more licenses (sounds crazy - but it is much cheaper).
This may seem like a lot - but these questions are just the tip of the iceberg. I have been in charge of spec'ing, building, and programming spatial systems now for about 20 years, so I have a pretty good idea of how to do enterprise scale computing on a Ramon-noodle budget.
Smart clean software is your friend - don't ask the HW to do anything unless absolutely necessary (cache results and reuse as much as possible), and you can get crazy performance from minimal hardware.

Poor performance with Oracle Spatial when spatial query invoked remotely

Is anyone aware of any problems with Oracle Spatial (10.2.0.4 with patches 6989483 and 7003151 on Red Hat Linux 4) which might explain why a spatial query (SDO_WITHIN_DISTANCE) would perform 20 times worse when it was invoked remotely from another computer (using SQLplus) vs. invoking the very same query from the database server itself (also using SQLplus)?
Does Oracle Spatial have any known problems with servers which use SAN disk storage? That is the primary difference between a server in which I see this poor performance and another server where the performance is fine.
Thank you in advance for any thoughts you might share.

OK, that's clearer.
Are you sure it is the SQL inside the procedure that is causing the problem? To check, try extracting the SQL from inside the procedure and run it in SQLPLUS with
set autotrace on
set timing on
SELECT ....If the plans and performance are the same then it may be something inside the procedure itself.
Have you profiled the procedure? Here is an example of how to do it:
Prompt Firstly, create PL/SQL profiler table
@$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/proftab.sql
Prompt Secondly, use the profiler to gather stats on execution characteristics
DECLARE

Using Java with Oracle Spatial

I am using the JDBC (Java classes dowloaded from
technet.oracle.com - (sdoapi.zip)) together with Oracle Spatial
8.1.6. I am writing a collection of Linestrings into Oracle
Spatial using the supplied java classes(sdoapi.zip). I use the
function createGeometryCollection(myCollection)to write the
Linestring collection to Oracle Spatial and they are written to
the database without error. However, when I try to read the
object back I get the following error:
Exception in thread "main"
oracle.sdoapi.geom.InvalidGeometryException
at oracle.sdoapi.adapter.AdapterSDO.importGeometry
(AdapterSDO.java:101)
at
MapInfoToOracleSpatial.MapInfoToOracleSpatial.main
(MapInfoToOracleSpatial.java:211)
I do not have a listing of this code so can you please tell me
what the error is (line of code) at line 211. Also, when I use
the Oracle Spatial Index Advisor to view the spatial data, it
only displays a quarter of the data. When I use MapInfo to view
it's equivalent TAB (Table) file it views correctly all the
data.
I can't understand why this is happening because the writing to
oracle and creation of each individual linestring does not
throw an error. It is only when I try to read back larger
objects from the database (2500 points) that it gives an error.
Is there a limitation on the size one can create linestrings?
Thanks

For database access from Java, you will use JDBC.
For the specifics of the oracle spatial database, you'll have to check the documentation/forum of Oracle.

* [JDBC Tutorial|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/jdbc/index.html]

Starting with Oracle Spatial

Hi, in few weeks I will have to start a new project in wich I will work with Oracle Spatial. I will like to know a good book, or any online resource to learn about this new world for me...
Thanks a lot for your help...!!!

Decide what version of Oracle you'll be using, then start here for documentation:

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.

Using Toplink with Oracle Spatial (missing right parenthesis error)

Hi,
I always get the following error when I try to create spatial query with toplink.
Internal Exception: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
Any idea ? Also, there is no trace of my point in the generated sql....
Here is the generated query:
SELECT ID, [...]
FROM QUEBEC_CITY
WHERE (MDSYS.SDO_NN(GEOMETRY, JGeometry (gtype=1, dim=2, rid=8307, NULL) = 'TRUE')
ORDER BY ID ASC
Here is my code... :
double[] coord = new double[]{-71.25163d, 46.8527d};
JGeometry point = JGeometry.createPoint(coord, 2, 8307);
SpatialOperator nearestNeighbor = SpatialOperator.nearestNeighbor(session);
ReadAllQuery query = new ReadAllQuery(UrbanEdgeDescriptor.class);
ExpressionBuilder eb = query.getExpressionBuilder();
Expression geom = eb.get("geometry");
query.setSelectionCriteria(nearestNeighbor.buildExpression(geom, point));
query.addAscendingOrdering("id");
List<UrbanEdgeDescriptor> results = (List)db.getSession().executeQuery(query);
System.out.println(results!=null);

The problem is the toString() on JGeometry. It does not print out a complete description the database can use inline. It produces:
JGeometry (gtype=1, dim=2, rid=8307
To get JGeometry types to work in your queries the easiest solution is to use parameter binding so the literal representation is not used.

Getting Started with Oracle Spatial

I am not sure if this is the appropriate forum for this question but here goes:
I have just started using Spatial, and am
trying to setup a simple within-distance query, following closely the html documentation.
I create a parks table:
CREATE TABLE parks (GID VARCHAR2(32), shape MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY);
and then the geometry metadata table:
INSERT INTO sdo_geom_METADATA VALUES ('parks', 'shape', MDSYS.SDO_DIM_ARRAY(MDSYS.SDO_DIM_ELEMENT('X', 0, 100, 0.005), MDSYS.SDO_DIM_ELEMENT('Y', 0, 100, 0.005)));
I insert some entries into my PARKS table:
INSERT INTO parks VALUES ('park1', MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY(1,NULL,MDSYS.SDO_POINT_TYPE(1,1,NULL),NULL, NULL));
INSERT INTO parks VALUES ('park2', MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY(1,NULL,MDSYS.SDO_POINT_TYPE(1,3,NULL),NULL, NULL))
and create a spatial index:
create index parks_fixed on parks(shape) indextype is mdsys.spatial_index parameters('SDO_LEVEL=8');
Finally, I do my within-distance query:
select parks.GID from TARGET parks where mdsys.sdo_within_distance(parks.shape,
MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY(1,NULL,MDSYS.SDO_POINT_TYPE(1,1,NULL),NULL, NULL),
'distance=2')='true';
to find points within 2 units of (1,1).
Unfortunately, I get the error:

So a few questions:
1: What am I doing wrong?
2: In 4.2.3 of the Oracle HTML documentation,
the example query has SELECT A.Feature_ID

What is TARGET?
3: The documentation has many errors. Where can I find better documentation?
Any help on any of these matters would be greatly appreciated!

I am not sure if this is the appropriate forum for this question but here goes:
I have just started using Spatial, and am
trying to setup a simple within-distance query, following closely the html documentation.
I create a parks table:
CREATE TABLE parks (GID VARCHAR2(32), shape MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY);
and then the geometry metadata table:
INSERT INTO sdo_geom_METADATA VALUES ('parks', 'shape', MDSYS.SDO_DIM_ARRAY(MDSYS.SDO_DIM_ELEMENT('X', 0, 100, 0.005), MDSYS.SDO_DIM_ELEMENT('Y', 0, 100, 0.005)));
I insert some entries into my PARKS table:
INSERT INTO parks VALUES ('park1', MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY(1,NULL,MDSYS.SDO_POINT_TYPE(1,1,NULL),NULL, NULL));
INSERT INTO parks VALUES ('park2', MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY(1,NULL,MDSYS.SDO_POINT_TYPE(1,3,NULL),NULL, NULL))
and create a spatial index:
create index parks_fixed on parks(shape) indextype is mdsys.spatial_index parameters('SDO_LEVEL=8');
Finally, I do my within-distance query:
select parks.GID from TARGET parks where mdsys.sdo_within_distance(parks.shape,
MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY(1,NULL,MDSYS.SDO_POINT_TYPE(1,1,NULL),NULL, NULL),
'distance=2')='true';
to find points within 2 units of (1,1).
Unfortunately, I get the error:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29902: error in executing ODCIIndexStart() routine
ORA-13207: incorrect use of the [SDO_WITHIN_DISTANCE] operator
ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.SDO_INDEX_METHOD", line 73
