Importing raster data

Question

Hi
I am having problems importing a 50MB TIFF file.
Background:
My table containing Georaster Object:
SQL> desc mm_loch_image;
Name Null? Type
IMAGE_NAME VARCHAR2(24)
GEOR SDO_GEORASTER
I have initialised the Georaster object - insert into mm_loch_image values( 'loch_mm', mdsys.sdo_geor.init('rdt_1') );
SQL> select * from mm_loch_image;
IMAGE_NAME
GEOR(RASTERTYPE, SPATIALEXTENT(SDO_GTYPE, SDO_SRID, SDO_POINT(X, Y, Z), SDO_ELEM
loch_mm
SDO_GEORASTER(NULL, NULL, 'RDT_1', 6, NULL)
I have created the required trigger:
SQL> select trigger_name from user_triggers where table_name = 'MM_LOCH_IMAGE';
TRIGGER_NAME
GRDMLTR_50895_2
Yet I am having problems running the following:
declare
image MDSYS.SDO_GEORASTER;
begin
SELECT geor INTO image FROM mm_loch_image WHERE image_name = 'loch_mm' FOR UPDATE;
MDSYS.sdo_geor.importFrom(image, '', 'TIFF', 'file', 'D:\PCI_EVAL\OSIM_TIFF.tiff');
UPDATE mm_loch_image SET geor = image WHERE image_name = 'loch_mm';
commit;
end;
declare
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-13464: error loading GeoRaster data: ORA-06550: line 2, column 14:
PL/SQL: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
ORA-06550: line 2, column 2:
PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.MD", line 1723
ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.MDERR", line 17
ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.SDO_GEOR", line 2889
ORA-06512: at line 11
Any Ideas, as the table mm_loch_image does exist, or am I missing something else?
Thanks

Answer 1

did you create the raster data table using a command similar to the following:
CREATE TABLE rdt_1 OF SDO_RASTER
(PRIMARY KEY (rasterID, pyramidLevel, bandBlockNumber,
rowBlockNumber, columnBlockNumber))
TABLESPACE geor_tbs NOLOGGING
LOB(rasterBlock) STORE AS rdt_1_rbseg
(TABLESPACE geor_tbs_2
CHUNK 8192
CACHE READS
NOLOGGING
PCTVERSION 0
STORAGE (PCTINCREASE 0)
If not, then that may be your problem
