Oracle Spatial Information?

we are planing to use oracle spatial in oracle 10g release 2.For this feature where i can find the information related to its licence,Hardware requirements and about oracle spatial architecture.
Thank You All...

Oracle Spatial is an Enterprise Edition option only, Oracle Locator a free subset available in all editions. Please address licence questions to your sales representative,you won't get here an official answer,what exactly you have to pay.
I don't see any specific hardware issues for Spatial.
Spatial architecture is explained in the docs:

Information over Oracle Spatial

Hi,
I understand that Oracle Spatial is a special feature in a database to store spatial and geographical informtion.
Correct me if I am wrong.
From the OTN site, where can I found documentation about the Oracle Spatial feature, and the related tools to create/edit spatia/geographicall iinformation? I understood that there is also a MapViewer tool...
I have not find it in downloads -> database or download -> middleware.
Is it maybe part of a bundle?
Does someone has experience with these products and features?
Thanks and Regards.

As for books, check out Bex Huff's book "The Definitive Guide to Content Server Development" is still a great reference:

Can not deploy Oracle Spatial Routing Engine on Oracle Weblogic

I posted my question with Oracle Support, however they directed me to the oracle forums. I am hoping this problem can be resolved here. In any event I am getting the following stack trace (shown below). I am using Spatial Version 11.2.0.1.0, Map Viewer 11.1.1.5.1, and WebLogic 10.3.5.0, and data-set provided by Pro Oracle Spatial for Oracle Database 11g - Apress boos. I have successful in deploying Map Viewer, Geocoder Server, but not the Routing Server.
Below is the stack trace:

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

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.

Oracle Spatial Performance with 10-20.000 users

Does anyone have any experience when Oracle Spatial is used with say 20.000 concurrent users. I am not interested in MapViewer response time, but lets say there is:
- an app using 800 different tables each having an sdo_geometry column
- the app is configured with different tables visible on different view scales
- let's say an average of 40-50 tables is visible at any given time
- some tables will have only a few records, while other can hold millions.
- there is no client side caching
- clients can zoom in/out pan.
Anwers I am interested in:
- What sort of server would be required
- How can Oracle serve all that data (each Refresh renders the map and retrieves the data over the wire as there is no client side caching).
- What sort of network infrastructure would be required.
- Can clients connect to different servers and hence use load balancing or does Oracle have an automatic mechanism for that?
Thanks in advance,
Patrick

Patrick, et al.
There are lots of things one can do to improve performance in mapping environments because of a lot of the visualisation is based on "background" or read-only data. Here are some "tips":
1. Spatially sort read-only data.
This tip makes sure that data that is close to each other in space are next to each other on disk! Dan gave a good suggestion when he referenced Chapter 14, "Reorganize the Table Data to Minimize I/O" pp 580- 582, Pro Oracle Spatial. But just as easily one can create a table as select ... where sdo_filter() where the filtering object is an optimized rectangle across the whole of the dataset. (This is quite quick on 10g and above but much slower on earlier releases.)
When implementing this make sure that the created table is created such that its blocks are next to each other in the tablespace. (Consider tablespace defragmentation beforehand.) Also, if the data is READ ONLY set the PCTFREE to 0 in order to pack the data up into as small a number of blocks as possible.
2. Generalise data
Rendering spatial data can be expensive where the data is geometrically detailed (many vertices) esp where the data is being visualised at smaller scales than it was captured at. So, if your "zoom thresholds" allow 1:10,000 data to be used at 1:100,000 then you are going to have problems. Consider pre-generalising the data (see sdo_util.simplify) before deployment. You can add multiple columns to your base table to hold this data. Be careful with polygon data because generalising polygons that share boundaries will create gaps etc as the data is more generalised. Often it is better to export the data to a GIS which can maintain the boundary relationships when generalising (say via topological relationships).
Oracle's MapViewer has excellent on-the-fly generalisation but here one needs to be careful. Application tier caching (cf Bryan's comments) can help here a lot.
3. Don't draw data that is sub-pixel.
As one zooms out objects become smaller and smaller until they reach a point where the whole object can be drawn within a single pixel. If you have control over your map visualisation application you might want to consider setting the SDO_FILTER parameter "min_resolution" flag dynamically so that its value is the same as the number of meters / pixel (eg min_resolution=10). If this is set Oracle Spatial will only include spatial objects in the returned search set if one side of a geometry's MBR is greater than or equal to this value. Thus any geometries smaller than a pixel will not be returned. Very useful for large scale data being drawn at small scales and for which no selection (eg identify) is required. With Oracle MapViewer this behaviour can be set via the generalized_pixels parameter.
3. SDO_TOLERANCE, Clean Data
If you are querying data other than via MBR (eg find all land parcels that touch each other) then make sure that your sdo_tolerance values are appropriate. I have seen sites where data captured to 1cm had an sdo_tolerance value set to a millionth of a meter!
A corollary to this is make sure that all your data passes validation at the chosen sdo_tolerance value before deploying to visualisation. Run sdo_geom.validate_geometry()/validate_layer()...
4. Rtree Spatial Indexing
At 10g and above lots of great work went in to the RTree indexing. So, make sure you are using RTrees and not QuadTrees. Also, many GIS applications create sub-optimal RTrees by not using the additional parameters available at 10g and above.
4.1 If your table/column sdo_geometry data contains only points, lines or polygons then let the RTree indexer know (via layer_gtype) as it can implement certain optimizations based on this knowledge.
4.2 With 10g you can set the RTree's spatial index data block use via sdo_pct_free. Consider setting this parameter to 0 if the table/column sdo_geometry data is read only.
4.3 If a table/column is in high demand (eg it is the most commonly used table in all visualisations) you can consider loading (a part of) the RTree index into memory. Now, with the RTree indexing, the sdo_non_leaf_tbl=true parameter will split the RTree index into its leaf (contains actual rowid reference) and non-leaf (the tree built on the leaves) components. Most RTrees are built without this so only the MDRT*** secondary tables are built. But if sdo_non_leaf_tbl is set to true you will see the creation of an additional MDNT*** secondary table (for the non_leaf part of the rtree index). Now, if appropriate, the non_leaf table can be loaded into memory via the following:
ALTER TABLE MDNT*** STORAGE(BUFFER_AREA KEEP);
This is NOT a general panacea for all performance problems. One should investigate other options before embarking on this (cf Tom Kyte's books such as Expert Oracle Database Architecture, 9i and 10g Programming Techniques and Solutions.)
4.4 Don't forget to check your spatial index data quality regularly. Because many sites use GIS package GUI tools to create tables, load data and index them, there is a real tendency to not check what they have done or regularly monitor the objects. Check the SDO_RTREE_QUALITY column in USER_SDO_INDEX_METADATA and look for indexes with an SDO_RTREE_QUALITY setting that is > 2. If > 2 consider rebuilding or recreating the index.
5. The rendering engine.
Whatever rendering engine one uses make sure you try and understand fully what it can and cannot do. AutoDesk's MapGuide is an excellent product but I have seen it simply cache table/column data and never dynamically access it. Also, I have been at one site which was running Deegree and MapViewer and MapViewer was so fast in comparison to Deegree that I was called in to find out why. I discovered that Deegree was using SDO_RELATE(... ANYINTERACT ...) for all MBR queries while MapViewer was using SDO_FILTER. Just this difference was causing some queries to perform at < 10% of the speed of MapViewer!!!!
6. Consider "denormalising" data
There is an old adage in databases that is "normalise for edit, denormalise for performance". When we load spatial data we often get it from suppliers in a fairly flat or normalised form. In consort with spatial sorting, consider denormalising the data via aggregations based on a rendering attribute and some sort of spatial unit. For example, if you have 1 million points stored as single points in SDO_GEOMETRY.SDO_POINT which you want to render by a single attribute containing 20 values, consider aggregating the data using this attribute AND some sort of spatial BUCKET or BIN. So, consider using SDO_AGGR_UNION coupled with Spatial Analysis and Mining package functions to GROUP the data BY <<column_name>> and a set of spatial extents.
6. Tablespace use
Finally, talk to your DBA in order to find out how the oracle database's physical and logical storage is organised. Is a SAN being used or SAME arranged disk arrays? Knowing this you can organise your spatial data and indexes using more effective and efficient methods that will ensure greater scalability.
7. Network fetch
If your rendering engine (app server) and database are on separate machines you need to investigate what sort of fetch sizes are being used when returning data from queries to the middle-tier. Fetch sizes for attribute only data rows and rows containing spatial data can be, and normally are, radically different. Accepting the default settings for these sizes could be killing you (as could the sort_area_size of the Oracle session the application server has created on the database). For example I have been informed that MapInfo Pro uses a fixed value of 25 records per fetch when communicating with Oracle. I have done some testing to show that this value can be too small for certain types of spatial data. SQL Developer's GeoRaptor uses 100 which is generally better (but this one can modify this). Most programmers accept defaults for network properties when programming in ADO/ODBC/OLEDB/JDBC: just be careful as to what is being set here. (This is one of the great strengths of ArcSDE: its TCP/IP network transport is well written, tuneable and very efficient.)
8. Physical Format
Finally, while Oracle's excellent MapViewer requires data its spatial data to be in Oracle, other commercial rendering engines do not. So, consider using alternate, physical file formats that are more optimal for your rendering engine. For example, Google Earth Enterprise "compiles" all the source data into an optimal format which the server then serves to Google Earth Enterprise clients. Similarly, a shapefile on local disk to the application server (with spatial indexing) may be faster that storing the data back in Oracle on a database server that is being shared with other business databases (eg Oracle financials). If you don't like this approach and want to use Oracle only consider using a dedicated Oracle XE on the application server for the data that is read only and used in most of your generated maps eg contour or drainage data.
Just some things to think about.

Conversion of a shapefile to oracle spatial format

hi,
I have got installed oracle9i, arcgis9 and sde9 on my system. I am using direct connection technique. i have tried to export shapefile to geodatabase with the use of SDO_GEOMETRY configuration keyword. But when i am checking at the backend there is no srid value for the exported shapefile in mdsys.sdo_geom_metadatatable.

Hello Vaneeza:
We also have the software versions that you mention. how did you load your data from the shapefile to your Oracle database? Did you use the shp2sdo.exe program? If so, then you need to complete this data load by logging into Oracle as the same account used to load the shapefile data and execute a SQL statement (INSERT...) to insert the metadata into the USER_SDO_GEOM_METADATA table. See the Oracle Spatial Users Guide and Reference for more information. I believe the book "Pro Oracle Spatial" covers this topic also. I think you will also have to register the table with ArcSDE, there is an ArcSDE command for this. By default, ArcSDE has something called "autoregistration" turned on, so unless you have changed that setting, then ESRI client apps like ArcMap will "discover" the table in your Oracle database by reading the Oracle metadata.

How to Query Sdo_Geometry Object of ORACLE SPATIAL in PHP?

Hi,
I am trying to Query the Oracle Spatial's Geometry object in the PHP page but its giving me the ADT Error. How can i see the GEOMETRY object information on the web using PHP. Thanking you in advance and waiting for ur prompt reply.
Adnan!

Hi Ana,
In the Query below its returning the result as each value of one row in diffrent rows i wanna ask from u is:
1- May i get all these values in one row ?
2- Second, i want to query more than one row values from the table? as this is a single row subquery.
Thanks for your help and i m looking forward for a positive reply from you.
Regards,
Adnan!
The following select lists all ordinate-values from ONE object in the table:

Import Bently DGN Files into a oracle spatial 8.1.7-- ERRORS

Hy
I work with Oracle spatial 8.1.7, MapX, VB6 and Win2k.
My Problem: I get a DGN File. When I translate this file into a MapInfo File(s), it works fine.
Now I must have this data in a oracle spatial. On this part the problems start.
I can only inport the geometry and no charakters strings into the DB.
The Textlayers on the mapinfo file are converted th polygons (from DGN to MapInfo TAB).
If I move these file to the oracle, the text Layers are empty. If I look into the MapInfo Layer, which could have the text, the visible table (on MapInfo) is empy.
It is posible to transform the DGN to a other way (with FME). Then I have a smaler number of MapInfo files with text informations in the table(MapInfotable).
Because it is not posible to load this file into the oracle.
I get the errormessage, that the first row is Zero.....
What can I do???
Is the DGN FIle corrupt??? Have I a'n error on my Oracle???
Please help me
Peter

Oracle Spatial 10g

Hello all
I would like to know if is it possible to install the 10g Spatial functionality in a previous version of the database (8.1.7).
We want to work with Oracle Spatial + ArcSDE (with versioning and Spatial as Geometry Storage) + ArcGIS-ArcIMS, but the editing software will be AutoCAD.
We will get from the database those elements whe want to edit and put it then in AutoCAD layers . To limit the traffic, we only need the geographic primitives (points and arc, but no polygons), but as we are editing polygons, we need a process that rebuild topology. I think that the new Oracle Spatial 10 g topological functionalities could help us (so we can insert arcs in a table and get the polygons they are building, and dangle arcs).
I suppose it will not be possible to edit directly to the geodatabase feature class if it is versioned (so all the changes will appear as consolidated), but, is it possible (and of course, easy) to rebuild via SQL an ArcSDE version?
And finally:
Can (and how) we use Oracle WorkSpace Manager whit ArcSDE??? , and only with AutoCAD? Any experience? I´m thinking about spatial index and mdsys metadata table. Must be these tables registered as "versioned" with Oracle WorkSpace Manager to work with spatial data?
Thank you for all
Jesús de Diego

Hello all again
First of all, thank you for your quick reply.
I can explain a bit more what we wanna do:
we're in a multi-platform environ. We've ArcGIS users, AutoCAD users and a ArcSDE DB. We don't want AutoCAD users to migrate to ArcEditor, but they need to edit corporative (DB) data, and, in the other hand, there will be others editors using ArcEditor capabilities, so it is possible we will need versioned (ArcSDE) data.
I think we can edit an ArcSDE version vía AutoCAD:
1º Data storage will be Oracle Spatial.
2º A new version over the default will be created.
3º When an AutoCAD editor request spatial data, we can, vía SQL, get the sdo_geometry (here is when i need to rebuild a complete version....)
4º We load these spatial data into diferents layer in a dwg (in we can get only the geographic primitives, this will be faster)
5º CAD users edit the information and when they finish, load arc and points (lables) into 2 temporal tables, when arcCatalog can rebild polygon topology ....
6º Once polygons have been rebuilded, can be sended to AutoCAD again so Oracle Spatial SQL queries can be used in AutoCAD against the DB.
7º Finally, could we insert the new records into A and D tables?, and how? using simply SQL (again we need to rebuild a version....)
I'm all ears.......
Thank you again

Creating an Oracle Spatial database in 10g and connecting ArcGIS

I have a set of shapefiles that I want to convert into Oracle Spatial 10g and then be able to view these with the capability of ArcGIS 9 (without using ArcSDE).
From what I've read, I think this could be done by using ODBC. Once that connection is made, will I then be able to use the full functionality of ArcGIS especially read/write functions to edit the information in Oracle Spatial?
What data formats does Oracle Spatial in 10g support. I am concerned about raster data, CAD data, Survey data etc

The shape files can be loaded into Oracle spatial using shp2sdo.exe available on web.To view the GIS data in ArcGIS ,ArcGIS needs the layers to be registered.Therefore you need Arcsde for registering the layers.But for viewing the data in Arcgis we do not need arcsde ,we can view the data using direct connect.For editing the data we can use ODBC connection.
About raster data,we can load tiff,jpeg,bmp,png,gif using georaster tools provided by oracle into georaster tables.
Thanks

Oracle Spatial Training

I am looking for Oracle spatial training anywhere in the US. Has any one ever taken this training woth Oracle before? What was your experience? Is there anyone other than Oracle that offers this training?
null

I have been investigating this for our group. Training for Oracle Spatial is not offered through Oracle University, what is offered is a consulting service known as "Spatial Quick Start". If you contact Justin Winter ([email protected]) he can send you the information. Good Luck...

Oracle Spatial Information?
