Oracle 10g Spatial

Hi all,
I wonder if you guys know how to implement Oracle 10g Spatial (geocoder, spatial data for the whole country, and possiably map viewer)? I know there are some documents out there, but none of them are about implementation. do you know any step-by-step implementation instruction available?
Thanks a lot.
Jinran

1) There is a separate forum for Spatial which has some discussion on this;
2) You could come to an Oracle University Oracle Spatial course - I always discuss these exact questions (but it takes about 1 hours to walk trough it, so I will not do that in the forum)
3) If you want to use Spatgial, run (don;t walk) to the nearest book store and order the Apress Spatial book. http://www.apress.com/book/view/1590593839 covers what you want, and http://www.apress.com/book/view/1590598997 will covers what you want as well as the improvements to 11g.

Hi,
Is there any documentation avilable for oracle spatial 10g ?
Any link would be helpfull.

Oracle 10g and Spatial Components

I'm a student exploring the use of oracle 10g in building spatial business intelligence systems since I have to develop such as part of my project. Oracle 9i is somewhat familiar to me. I downloaded and installed oracle 10g enterprise database from oracle's website. Can anyone assist me with the following?
---The OEM is not in my Oracle Home Folder, and I have to connect to the internet to get access to my database, is there any possibility for me not going online to have access to my database and where is the OEM (fully web-enabled)?
---Does Oracle database client come packaged with Oracle Spatial and Locator?
---Will Oracle provide a good option to develop a prototype of a Spatial BI tool for ascertaining how consumer services can be improved and so enable better decision making?
---Is Oracle 10 enterprise database and application server, the two main components to install to develop a system for spatial data.

In my opinion, there are more misunderstandings in Oracle Spatial than in any other Oracle technology. This is largely because Oracle Spatial is both a GIS-neutral storage mechanism, as well as a powerful standalone extension to SQL for handling spatial-related BI.
The APress 'Pro Oracle Spatial' is mandatory reading. It actually leads you through the install, dataset loading, tuning, and sample spatial data query and management. http://apress.com/book/bookDisplay.html?bID=315
There is also a Spatial forum in the Database category.

Oracle 10g Release 2 Spatial

Hi,
I couldn't move these questions from another post, so I deleted them and put them here:

Hi, is there somewhere a roadmap (with dates) or/and a list of new spatial features in future releases of the oracle database

I agree, a roadmap with attached release dates and
feature listings would be an excellent resource.
Ronan

Oracle isn't allowed to provide futures information in advance of product announcements, except under non-disclosure agreements.
Oracle 10g Release 2 has been announced, so here is some high-level information about Spatial Features included in it:
EPSG Coordinate System Support
New parameters to sdo_filter, sdo_relate, and sdo_within_distance to only return data above or below a certain size with respect to the screen size(to prevent a large amount of data from rendering on a single pixel on the display, for instance)
New indexing parameter to define how Spatial/Locator internally batches index updates at commit time to allow faster index processing during inserts, updates, and deletes.
New utility function to automatically try to fix invalid geometries
First shipping release of the spatial routing engine
In GeoRaster:
Compression (JPEG and DEFLATE)
Cross-schema usage
Requirements for raster data table uniqueness, and procedures to help maintain uniqueness
Enhancements to GeoRaster Viewer
In Topology:
Add geometry interfaces for points, lines, and polygons
Create feature interface (first full release)
Load topo map procedure
remove obsolete nodes
Find the features this feature is created from in a hierarchy
Can build feature layers in a hiercharchy either from previous layer or from primitives
Simplified export/import
Network Data Model
Bidirected links
cost columns based on function (dynamic costing)
Also, numerous bug fixes across the board, and some other minor changes/additions

How to migrate Spatial SDE from 9.3 to 10 and Oracle 10g to 11g

Hi,
I would like ti post a question to ask a help.
We have a task of migrating from Oracle 10g to 11g and at the same time from ArcGis 9.3 to version 10; SDE to SDO but no experience in this type of work.
We are looking for any information that may help us understand what is the best strategy to complete the activity.
Any help is very appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hello unnamed user8111502,
In general you want to post your ArcSDE question to the ESRI forums at
http://forums.arcgis.com/forums/32-Geodatabase-amp-ArcSDE
But if you want some advice then I would suggest doing the Oracle upgrade first and the SDE upgrade second - for no other reason than this is what I did and had no problems.
Upgrading Oracle from 10g to 11g is pretty straightforward, there is nothing "special" you need to do as regards your SDE middleware. Just do the 11g upgrade and then upgrade SDE to the 9.3.1 11g version (again not a big deal).
You did not mention the storage type you are using. If you are using SDO_GEOMETRY, then one thing I did notice is the 11g upgrade process will drop and rebuild all your spatial indexes so if you have an huge amount of SDO spatial data on an underpowered machine then your upgrade person should bring a book along as it can take some time.
Upgrading SDE from 9.3.1 to 10 is similarly pretty straightforward. ESRI has made extensive changes to their SDE schema data model but their underlying storage types and indexes and such have not changed. So there is no change to the data itself that I know of. The important thing is that all the ESRI users of your database need to upgrade to version 10 as well. Anyone still on a 9.3 client - this includes desktop users and servers (AGS, IMS) will no longer be able to use the database after the upgrade. As version 10 is backwards compatible with 9.3 it would make sense to have all your clients upgrade to 10 first (and troubleshoot any issues with this) and then do SDE last.
Cheers and good luck,
Paul

To add oracle spatial into my Oracle 10g database

Hi all,
I am using Oracle 10g 10.2.0.1.0 on Windows.
How to install Oracle spatial in my database.
I tried to do with DBCA with configure database option but in that Oracle spatial is in disabled state.
Please help I am newby to Oracle spatial
-Thanks & cheers
Antony

Hi Antony,
is this a standard edition installation (or XE)?? Then spatial is not available - it's an EE option. Please see Note:465465.1 on Metalink (scroll down to the bottom of the table). IF it is an SE installation than you'd basically install a new Oracle Home with Spatial included, stop your database, restart it and run catalog/catproc (see Note:117048.1 on converting an SE to EE).
Kind regards
Mike

Problem using template in database configuration assistant Oracle 10g

Hi,
I created a database using the database configuration assistant for Oracle 10g on a Windows Server 2003 box. The database I created worked perfectly, and I had saved it as a template so I could save some time when creating similar databases (which I have to do on occasion)
When I try to use the template though, I get an error (at about 4% through the database creation) saying:
ORA-01501: CREATE DATABASE failed
ORA-09314: sltln: error translating logical name
I'm creating this new database on the same server as the one I created my previous database on and NOTHING has changed on it, I did this just minutes apart and can duplicate it at will (just try and use a template)

Oracle 10g Licensing Query

Hi,
I have a query with regards to Oracle 10g licensing for additional options (OLAP, Data Mining, Partitioning, Spatial & Database Vault) on top of enterprise edition.
Even though i am not using any of the options, i have them installed along with enterprise edition. Do i still need to pay for these additional options?
From 10g, you can always prove to oracle that any of the features/options are not in use via DBA_FEATURE_USAGE_STATISTICS.
We are using shared infrastructure for hosting many application databases. Today we have a application that uses only partitioning, but tommorrow we might have to create a database within the same oracle home that uses OLAP & data mining as well.
would be interested in knowing what is oracle stand on this i.e. we pay for additional options only if we are using them or we pay just because they are installed regardless of we are using them or not??
Thanks & Regards
Chandar

Chandark,
You need to pay licenses if you are using it commercially and if it is installed and you haven't paid for it then how would you stop anyone not using it because its not paid but its there. This will be against your contractual agreement and they may fine you or you have to pay for the options. So I recommend not to install options you haven't paid for to avoid any issues. But if you are using for learning purpose and not commercial then you are good. You can further contact local Oracle Support or local Sales rep for more information
Hope this helps, regards

Oracle 10g function to convert GML 3.1.1 to SDO_GEOMETRY

In Oracle 11g there is a function available to convert GML 3.1.1 to SDO_GEOMETRY (SDO_UTIL.FROM_GML311GEOMETRY)
However I need to support this in Oracle 10g that does not contain this function.
Does anybody have this function for me in Java or PL/SQL?
The Java classes GML, GML2, GML3 and GML 3g do not support GML 3.1.1 (with <patches>)
Thanks for any help!
Ron

Hi Ron,
I would second John's advice to go Simon's Java route as probably the best way to go if you are truly trapped on 10g. Note that were you to consider going the PLSQL route, the 10g XMLTYPE has a limitation of 64K for the payload of any XML tag. This means any GML linestring or polygon with more than 64K of coordinate data would not be possible to store or manipulate as XMLTYPE.
ORA-31167: 64k size limit for XML node
This makes using XMLTYPE tools to work with GML a bit of a bust on 10g. Moving to 11g is definitely something you want to consider if GML is in your requirements. Also, as a GML user please consider putting in an enhancement request to Oracle Spatial to support GML 3.2 and 3.3 (feel free to piggy back on 9788193).
Oracle Spatial and support for GML 3.2.1?
The 3.3 spec is due out any day now. The existing 11g reader/writer almost works with the new specs if they just added a few tweaks for gml:id and the namespace.
Cheers,
Paul

Oracle Database 10g or Oracle 10g Express Edition

Hi Friends,
I have worked on Oracle 9i but now I would like to work on Oracle 10g but confuse because there are more option for download.Which one should I go for?
Oracle Database 10g or Oracle 10g Express Edition ?
Or Any other option.
Any Suggestion are welcome.
KarTiK.

It all depends on what exactly you are planning to use oracle for. Depending on the version, there may be found or not some features, you can see it this way:
EE > SE > XE
EE is a superset of SE and SE is a superset of XE. So you will find several limitation on the XE edition.
However, even though XE is a very limited version, it cannot be underestimated, it can be used for Spatial Data projects, it works with spatial data locator, and there are several guides that show how to use it with PHP so you can start a web site. WebPLSQL is included with it, so the only limit is your creativity.
This version can be very useful, and you can make the most of it, you may be interested in reading this article Oracle Database 10g Express Edition: Not Just for Learners
by Lewis Cunningham.
The XE edition is free. So you can use it without license fees and is the best suitable tool for learning, it is easy to install and setup. You can have a fully functional XE database out of the box. Once you feel more comfortable with oracle technology you can start thinking about taking the next step to a SE or EE edition.

Oracle Data Provider for Oracle 10g

We have an application certified on the ODP 9.2.0.2102, Oracle Client and Oracle ODBC 9.2.0.6. We have a client who is moving to Oracle 10g client within the next few months but will still be hitting an Oracle 9.2 backend.
My question is: Is the 9.2.0.2102 ODP compatible with the 10g client, or do we need to certify against a newer version of the ODP? And if the latter, what version of ODP is recommended?
We plan to certify against the latest of both this year, but for now, we need the path of least resistence.
Thanks for your help.

It is not "hard" to create your own geocoding schema though you will need to know how to create tables (with Oracle Spatial columns) in Oracle and before you do create the tables you should read through the documentation to be certain you have all of the required data and metadata.
Navteq, a data provider, also has sample geocoding data (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/spatial/htdocs/spatial_partners_data.html) as well as data for sale. Downloading and importing the Navteq data might give you a good idea about what you will need to do if you were to build your own geocoding schema using your data.
I hope this helps.

Oracle 10g Enterprise Manager DB control vs Enterprise Manager Console

We have a consultant install Oracle 10g on Windows platform. Somehow, I only see Enterprise Manager Console installed and I can use this console to access database. I don't see Enterprise Manager Database Control installed. What difference between Console and DB control? Please advise.
Thanks

I see the interfaces are totally different. the console is more like Oracle 9i. I know the DB control is a web tool, just for Oracle 10g. My question is in terms of admin, which one is better? Why Oracle has different tool to manage Database?The Oracle Enterprise Manager Console is a Java Standalone client, not a 3-tier product like the EM DB Console.
The Java Standalone client was deprecated in 10gR1. Probably since not all features had been ported to the 3-tier DB Console (eg: Spatial index management and Workspace Management), Oracle decided to let us use the Java Console as an extra install from the Client/Companion disk. However it is no longer available going forward into 11g.
If you look at the 'Console' carefully, you will not that some areas are no longer functional and it does not cover all capability of 10g, for example in partitioning and indexing.

Gis data uploading in oracle 10g database

hello everybody ,
i am new to oracle 10g ,but i am working in gis field for sometime now.i wanted to know whether there is any method present to upload a gis (shape file)data,and the erdas imagine data, in oracle spatial without going to buy the hefty ,arc sde license.
thanks in adavance,

They are permitted.
Pproperly designed 'cartridges' use the published Oracle spec. If they live within the restrictions of XE (size, CPU, and no Java stored procedures) they should work.
Oracle Locator is an example of a properly designed cartridge. So is intermedia.
Locator does not have any Java SPs and works in XE.
intermedia does use Java SPs and does not work in XE.

Problems in demo maps in Oracle 10g

Hi everybody,
I migrated from oracle 9i to oracle 10g and installed mapviewer using installation kit for 10g. Now I am able to run mapviewer and able to define the data source but when I clicking on any of the demos I get PAGE CANNOT BE DISPLAYED ERROR page. The log snapshot of OC4J is as below

Earlier I worked with 9i and have handsome experience on that but now in 10g I dont know what has happend.
Please help me.
Thank you.

Hi Priya,
I guess you are using other OC4J (the command is from a JDeveloper10g folder). When you install the MapViewer kit, there is a OC4J directory there. Try to use this OC4J.

Shrinking BLOB tablespace in Oracle 10g

Hello,
I have table created with 32 GB in Oracle 10g with BLOB field containing images. after that I have deleted some of the images from the table but when I'm checking free space, it is show full 32 GB. But when I'm looking at Toad it shows me out of 32 GB 17 GB is free.
my question is how to shrink/resize blob tablespace/table having BLOB field in oracle 10g 2rel ?

Hello urgent,
Tablespace management is not really an Oracle Spatial topic, I suppose these are georaster images?. You probably want to search and post in the more general database forums.
The quick answer is that it is not easy. Oracle tablespaces may only be "shrunk" if the free space is at the end of the datafile at the "high water" mark. If by some wild coincidence the images you removed were indeed at the back of the datafile, then you could alter the datafile with a RESIZE command. But the odds of that being the case are incredibly low. If you really, really MUST recover that space then about the only thing to do is export the data, delete it from the tablespace, shrink the tablespace and then import the data back in. Another approach if you have the space is just move the data into another empty tablespace and then drop the original tablespace. I would guess that the salary expended for you to take everything offline and do this would be more than just buying another cheap disk. Considering that in doing your daily work you may well indeed be in this position again in a few weeks, then it makes even less sense.
Now having said all that I have been in the situation where I MUST recover that space without taking everything offline.
One thing you can try is to "pop" the last items off the datafile (moving them to another tablespace) identified using the query below. But this is an exercise in futility unless your resources happen to be nicely "chunked" together near the highwater mark. Oracle tends to stripe resources across the available space in the datafile. So you might find you need to move half the contents before recovering any significant amount of space.
Cheers,
Paul
