ORA-13487: SRID not found for source coordinate system metadata

Question

Hi,
When executing the following
DECLARE
g SDO_GEORASTER;
BEGIN
SELECT raster INTO g FROM CADRE_AWIFS_GEORASTERS
WHERE row_id = 3 FOR UPDATE;
SDO_GEOR.IMPORTFROM
g, 'SRID=8307',
'GEOTIFF','FILE',
'/Oracle2/usr/local/src/cadre/raster_import_orcl/BAND2.TIF'
UPDATE CADRE_AWIFS_GEORASTERS SET raster = g
WHERE row_id = 3;
COMMIT;
END;
I get the error ORA-13487
How can I find the SRID that's making it blow up?

Answer 1

your file is geotiff, so you should remove "SRID=8307' from the storage parameter. instead, always apply blocksize.
to find out what kind of coordinate system is inside your geotiff file, you can use many tools. if you don't have the tools, recommend listgeo.exe or gdalinfo. both are open source and can be dowloaded and installed in minutes.
you may call sdo_cs.find_srid to search the equivalent CS in oracle spatial. or simply check the WKTEXT in the cs_srs table to find out.
