CatPortal's LocWizard: An Innovative Approach to Mapping Insurance Risk Intelligence and Enabling Faster Decision Making
Guru Rao, President, Catastrophe Systems,
Aon Re Services, Inc.
Deepak Badoni, Vice President, Catastrophe Systems, Aon Re Services, Inc.
Instant access to policy and location level insurance data is one of the keys to faster decision making during and after a catastrophe event. Using Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition and Oracle MapViewer, Aon Re Global has developed an industry leading business intelligence and mapping tool that allows users to seamlessly navigate between reports and maps.

Reengineering Desktop Thick Workgroups into Web
Rich Enterprise Clients
Bryan Hall, Spatial Architect, L-3 Communications
Jeff Walawender, Senior Software Engineer, L-3 Communications
Cost cutting requires reengineering spatial solutions to directly address business requirements. But enterprise computing for spatial data has, with even "Web 2.0", required the user to lose the responsiveness and feedback that traditional desktop thick client GIS software has provided. We took a different approach in the re-engineering effort and concentrated on making it work as much like a traditional desktop thick client - while simplifying use, making editing more reliable, and actually speeding up rendering. All this, while only supporting one versioned Oracle Spatial database, and application tier for all users.
Complete eGovernment solution at City of Bolzano
Stefan Putzer, CreaForm
Giulio Lavoriero, Director of Engineering, CreaForm
The City of Bolzano, Italy has a unique, complete editing and publishing environment for geographical data. The Oracle Spatial-based enterprise editing environment supports import and export into geospatial tools from Bentley and ESRI, and network modeling from Oracle Spatial. Data is shared with GeoJAX, an easy-to-use geographical web browser that uses the Oracle MapViewer framework in combination with J2EE and AJAX for browsing Oracle Spatial data. This provides a flexible viewer supports spatial queries, and can be fully customized (style and functionality). Users can easily import any kind of geographical data from an ESRI file, edit it with a CAD precision functionality and make those data visible to anyone via the web in a very short time.

Oracle Open World in SanFrancisco and Oracle Spatial

Hi,
This week is Oracle Open World in San Francisco, and while usually we try to keep this message board strictly technical, I wanted to mention that there are some interesting things happening here.
There are a few sessions Wednesday in Room 2016 starting at 3:00 pm:
Data Management on a Budget with Oracle 10g: Exploring Strategies and Tactics with the U.S. Geological Survey
by Nate Booth and Harold House, USGS
Oracle Database 10g Spatial Performance and Manageability Best Practices and German Rail Case Study
by Dan Abugov (me) and Andreas Hoefler, Fichtner Consulting & IT AG
I'm excited to be talking about Partitioning Best Practices, and we'll be posting the white paper here on OTN.
Finally, please come and see us at booth E28 in the Oracle DemoGrounds (we have Locator/Spatial, MapViewer, and Workspace Manager here in the pod). If you are the FIRST person to mention reading this posting on OTN when you visit the booth, we'll be happy to give you a copy of "Pro Oracle Spatial", the first book devoted to developing applications using Oracle Spatial. The book was written by Ravi Kothuri, Albert Godfrind (two Oracle Spatial Developers) and Euro Beinat of Geodan NL. One of the authors (Albert Godfrind) is here, and if you ask I'd bet he'd autograph it for you!
We also have a very limited supply of the book we'll be giving out over the course of the conference.
Of course, everyone who stops by will get the Oracle Spatial mini CD which includes viewlets, white papers, and more.
The book is also available here:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1590593839/qid=1102358585/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/002-9450919-8639226?v=glance&s=books

Hello,
Take a look at this page, http://www.oracle.com/technology/events/oracle-openworld-2007/index.html
There are links here to the whole OOW (social network,twitter,blog/flicker)osphere I think the new buzzword being "Social Graph" that covers all that.
But anyway there are tons of ways for people to sign up and track the sessions and see who's going to go where, etc.
Regards,
Carl

Oracle Spatial usefulness as overlay of disaster areas

We have a custom app that plots out properties relative to the company. Now, the request is the ability to plot out the area of impact for disasters to identify those at risk (eg. hurricane path, flood, bombing(not so natural)). Unfortunately, I missed the opportunity to attend the Oracle conference held in Florida or that may have given me plenty of info. However, even reviewing overviews and white-papers it seems rather vague.
Does anyone have suggestions on where to find the best or at least most useful info on Oracle Spatial as it would pertain to this? I also wonder how widely available such data for disaster paths/areas plotting will be.

The best thing to do would be to bomb out of downloads to the forum-database-spatial and re-post the question there.
See: Spatial
Mark the questioned in this forum as answered so people dont keep telling you do do this.
I would suspect spatial has some propeties that you may be able to integrate with your existing app, but I would expect custom oding would be needed.

Loading shapefiles into Oracle Spatial

Fellow Oracle Spatiallers!
Currently we edit Oracle Spatial data by checking data out into a shapefile,
making our changes off-line, and reloading the shapefile back into Oracle.
Instead of using the Oracle Spatial supplied tool, we decided to purchase
a utility called the "Spatial Loader" from a company called Geometry Pty Ltd
(http://www.geometryit.com). There are a number of reasons why we decided to
go that way which might become evident from the command line parameters of
this utility:
Usage: Shp2Spt [Arguments] [Options]
OR
Usage: Java com.geometryit.spatialloader.oracle.AdvancedJavaSpatialTranslator [Arguments] [Options]
[Arguments] must specify these values:
-o create
type of operation to perform
create creates a new table, must not exist already
recreate creates a new table, may exist already
init drops existing table, creates a new one
append appends data onto existing table
-f <shape_file>
the shape file or project to translate
-l <table,column>
target table and column for the geometry data
-D <database>
target database name
-u <username>
username for RDBMS
-p <password>
password for RDBMS
[Options] values are not necessarily required:
-s <server_name>
name of server with database
-port <port_number>
the port to connect to on the server
-ufi <column_name>
specify the name of the UFI field (unique ID)
-seq <sequence_name>
specify the sequence to use for the spatial data unique IDs
-a none
attributes mode
none no attributes will be transferred
all all attribtues will be transfered as found
file= file containing lines of the form:
<shape_attribute><space/tab><rdbms_column>
where
<shape_attribute> selects the column to be output
<rdbms_column> name of the column in RDBMS
-srid <id>
specify the Spatial Reference ID for the spatial data
(this must be set to use Spatial Reference Transformations)
-i [<level>] or -i rtree
create an index for the generated table
the <level> parameter is an optional integer
representing the depth of the quadtree created
if rtree is specified, the index created will be
an rtree
-c <commit_interval>
number of rows to commit after
-t <tolerance>
tolerance value for metadata
-r none
used to determine number of decimal places to round vertices to
if you use the tolerance-parameter option, specify the -t parameter before -r
-igc
ignore geometry collections
-sgc
split geometry collections
-sgd f
split geometry direction [forward | reverse]
-update-metadata <true/false>
update the Oracle Spatial Metadata table after loading data
-validate <true/false>
perform Oracle Spatial validation after loading data
-v
verbose mode on
-h or -?
display this help message
The main things I like about this tool are:
1. One step (no conversion to sqlloader form followed by a call to the sqlloader).
2. The ability to round the coordinates of the shapes in the shapefile by applying
the XY tolerance values held in the SDO_GEOM_METADATA table.
This is quite important because our editing package - due to double/single precision
issues - can actually move coordinates but those movements are sub the precision of
the actual data. By rounding to the nominate precision we can detect situations where
no actual change to the shape (and its attributes) was made and thus not create superfluous
revisions within the database.
3. It will correctly re-wind the coordinates of the outer/inner shells of polygons. This is
important as ESRI shapefiles are agnostic on the winding order: an outer shell coordinates
can be listed in either clockwise or anti-clockwise order.
4. You can specify the primary key (UFI) column (numeric) and an Oracle Sequence number such
that each new shape loaded can have its UFI assigned from that sequence.
Because of this flexibility, and the excellent support (it is a purchasable product) from the
developers, I can heartily recommend this loader to fellow Spatiallers. It is worth every
penny I spent on it. Try the free version on their website and if, like me, you like it,
purchase it!
regards
Simon

Hi Shuan,
As part of the zip file created for the next training course to be posted for Oracle Spatial on OTN (within the next few weeks) there is a free (unsupported, undocumented) version of a shape to sdo converter. This should work, but it is unsupported. It will create a layer that then needs to be migrated into 8.1.6 format.
If you need it quite soon send email to [email protected] and I can get it to you.
Hope this helps,
dan

Oracle Spatial and Oracle Forms

Hi,
Does anyone have experience with Oracle Spatial and Oracle Forms?
I have generated a form, which is based on a view. The view uses the mdsys.sdo_relate operator. Somehow I am unable to get the form to perform (to get one record it takes over 20 minutes). While useing sql-navigator to process the same statement it seems no problem. The query that also uses the view, is then processed in 10 seconds.
I also noticed that when text-functions like ' lower' of ' upper' are used to query the view, the query is processed within 15 seconds. If I don't use ' lower' or ' upper' it takes a long time (> 20 minutes) to process the query. Is it possible that this causes the bad performance of the form?
On metalink I have found that forms and spatial do not cooperate because of the pl/sql version that
forms6 uses. There is no solution presented, does anyone know of a work around?
My configuration is:
Oracle 8.1.7 on WIN2K @ PIII-800Mhz 256 Mb memory.
Formsbuilder 6
If requested I can post the queries that I have made.
With regards,
Gerjan Walrecht

Hello Priya,
Look into the following.
1. Book - Pro Oracle Spatial for Oracle Database 11g by r. Kothuri, A. Godfrind, E. Beinat. This book provides a nice introduction on Oracle Spatial concepts and have examples.
2. Look at the Oracle Spatial & Graph User Guide
2. Book - Applying and Extending Oracle Spatial by S. Greener and S. Ravada. This book provides hands on information for advanced oracle spatial application developers. Practical guide on hands-on examples, Data models and develop cross-vendor database solutions.
3. This oracle spatial forum, once you understand these concepts.
In the future consider Certification on Oracle Spatial 11g Certified Implementation Specialist.

Help define the requirements for an Oracle Spatial management tool

Hi,
We are developing a tool that, we hope, will be indispensable for all Oracle Spatial and Locator dbas/users. We've released version 1.0, but we need your help to define the requirements for the next version.
What features would you like to have in a management tool for your spatial databases?
The features we've got so far:
1. Viewing of vector data in a map + attributes
2. Loading from shapefiles
3. Exporting to shapefiles
4. Validating metadata, indexes and spatial data.
We are adding editing of vectors in the next version - basic stuff for add, update and delete.
But there must be a lot more. What do you find difficult to do in Oracle Spatial/Locator? What would you like in a tool such as this?
Any feedback either to myself or the forum is much appreciated.
cheers,
Andrew
[email protected]
PS If you like to have a look at what we have done so far, go to http://www.geometryit.com/products/spatialConsole.php

Andrew knows what I have asked for but for others to think about and to start
the ball rolling, here's what they are:
1. Ability to enter own SQL commands but with PARAMETERS for attributes
and shapes as in the following examples:
SELECT ...
FROM my_spatial_table a
WHERE a.ATTRIBUTE = :attr
AND MDSYS.SDO_RELATE(a.shape,:polygon,'mask=anyinteract') = 'TRUE'
When executed the attribute value is asked for via a input box (data type?)
and the user is asked to define the SDO_GEOMETRY for the :polgygon parameter via mouse clicks on the screen.
Similarly, this would work for INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE...
INSERT INTO my_spatial_table (shape) values(:polygon)
The data type of an attribute parameter could be determined in two ways:
a) By querying the Oracle catalog;
b) By using a "PARAMETERS" command before the query as follows
PARAMETERS name type [(size)] [, name type [(size)] ...]
The PARAMETERS declaration has these parts:
name     The name of the parameter.
type     The type of the parameter.
size     The size of the parameter in characters or bytes.
2. When executing an SQL SELECT statement I would like the tool
to suggest the HINTS that are needed to improve performance.
3. Following on from 2, I would like to Tick an option that would return the
EXPLAIN PLAN that the query optimizer used when executing my query.
4. The tool has to support ALL Oracle's spatial vector data types.
5. It would be nice to be able to work with GeoRasters. Since Spatial Console
imports/exports shapefiles why not the same for rasters. However, the problem
with supporting foreign data formats is WHERE DO YOU STOP!!!!!
6. You could allow for the styling of the Spatial Console to be stored in the MapViewer catalogs or use the MapViewer catalogs when styling an Sdo_Geometry if it exists (I note that your tool extracts the SDO_METADATA
why not the MapViewer metadata as well)?
regards
S.

How do I know if a function is included in Oracle Spatial or in Locator ?

Hi,
Is there a document that lists which spatial packages are licensed as Locator and which are licence as spatial?
Tamas

Its all listed in Appendix B of the Oracle Spatial Developer's Guide. It varies a little from release to release so you'll need to check the guide for the database release you're on.

Oracle Spatial functionality with WFS

Hi all
My first post here so be gentle on me ;-)
This may be an obvious question but here goes ...
When using a WFS client can you access the full SDO_... SQL functions within Oracle Spatial? I've had a read of the WFS spec and it is all a bit vague on how the queries get passed through to the data store.
Also with the WFS locking, is this done at the web server level? If so how would that impact on any direct access to the database? A bit dangerous??
Appreciate any advice on WFS implemtations with a 9i back end. I want to retain the full native Oracle functionality and still deploy via WFS ... a pipe dream??
Thanks
Richard

Thanks for your response Andreas
Sorry, perhaps I wasn't clear, I realise the WFS client will never directly access the data source, that it is the WFS server that makes the request to the data store, not the client, but can the call be passed through to Oracle as native SQL?
I think I found the answer in the OGC Filter Encoding Imp Spec where it desribes in great detail the optional filter component of a WFS request. It desribes the CQL filter operators that include some spatial operators. These could, I understand, be translated from CGL and Feature based schema to SQL (in GML?) and relational based schema.
While I don't think at first glance that the spatial operators in CQL match all the Oracle SDO_ functions they probably go far enough for most normal users.
Am I on the right track?
Does anyone know of any work that has been done in this filter translation to SQL and if it has been implemented successfully anywhere.
I think the locks would still pose a problem, but that's for another day :-)
Thanks
Richard
