Oracle Spatial-MetaData Standards(Like FGDC Standards,Others Standards)

Hi to All,
Is Oracle Spatial Supports MetaData Standards(Like FGDC Standards) or it Supports any Metadata Standards,
If Supports Pl. tell me How can import into Oracle Spatial Feature.
Pl. Provide Information Regarding this.
Regards,
ChandraKishore.B &
RamaKrishna.Vangipurapu.

Hi ChandraKishore,
The answer is NO as far as I know. Neither the SDO_GEOMETRY object nor the ST_GEOMETRY OGC object natively carry along with it any metadata of any standard. Its just a container for the geometry and tools for working with those containers. You either need to implement something like ArcSDE which can tie together your metadata with each layer or craft a similar system yourself. Its not that intense of a task, you just have a separate table with a record for each layer in your database with the metadata stored either as a CLOB or an XMLTYPE. Then you need to manage the table to make sure it stays up to date with the GIS data in your database.
Its an interesting question though. Oracle has a conceptual dividing line between what they do and what they expect third parties and/or users to do. I think its safe to say that Oracle provides the technology for the storage and manipulation of spatial data but not the documentation of that same spatial data.
If anyone thinks I got that wrong, please jump in.

Spatial in standard edition

My understanding is there is no oracle spatial in standard edition.
However, when i do a custom database install, i see the option Oracle Spatial. How is that possible? Does that Oracle Spatial refer to Oracle Locator?
Thanks.

Yes, that's correct.
the "spatial" that comes with Standard Edition is Locator.

Accessing a legacy Oracle Spatial Database

We have an Oracle 9i server with Spatial extensions. There are data tables with SDO_GEOMETRY columns. These tables contain information that is consumed by a legacy application that uses MapInfo MapX GIS control. MapInfo stores metadata info in a proprietary Oracle DB table. The standard Oracle Spatial metainfo tables are empty.
What would be your recommendation for rescuing the geodata in the tables and generating the Oracle Spatial metainfo and being able to access the DB with Oracle Spatial-compatible tools like MapViewer?
Can MapViewer access the data and generate what is missing in the DB?
Thanks!

Try connecting as SCOTT/TIGER, then do this:
select * from user_sdo_geom_metadata;
if the table does not exist, then spatial hasn't been installed
if it does exist, then spatial (or locator) has been installed.
If the table didn't exist, rerun the installer, choose a custom
installation, and check the Spatial box, then install.
If the table did exist, or after you install spatial, you'll want to
use the user's guide, or take the spatial course to get started.

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 Business Intelligence Standard Edition 1 download?

Hi,
Apologies in advance if this is a daft question but could someone point me in the direction of the download link for Oracle Business Intelligence Standard Edition 1 11G for Windows 64bit?
The white paper below dated 2010 eludes to there being an 11g version of this software but the download site only has 10g:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-foundation/obi-se1-11g-wp-187262.pdf
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/101321biseone-095993.html
I downloaded the Enterprise edition 11g in the vain hope that the installer would have an option for installing standard edition 1, which it didn't.
This is a stupid problem to have but a problem nonetheless.
All help gratefully received.
David.

Am I correct in saying that the Simple Install is Standard Edition 1? It doesn't say that anywhere (unless I'm missing it).Simple install is like a standard installation, less input is required from you.
Oracle Business Intelligence Standard Edition 10g docs/downloads can be found at:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-standard-edition/downloads/index.html
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-standard-edition/overview/index.html
From http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-foundation/obi-se1-11g-wp-187262.pdf you can see the following:
The 10g version of BI SE One included a special installer and documentation tailored to the specific components that were available in 10g. For the 11g version of BI products, Oracle does not plan to release a special installer for BI SE One.
Thanks,
Hussein

Oracle Practices and Standards

I am developing in Oracle 10gR2 database and I am trying to implement a Software and Database documenting standard for any new system, software, modification that the developers develop.
I would like to know, what is the best approach for documenting my database. Best Practices or methodologies to do this.
Is there any Oracle Method or Standard to Document my Software and Databases?

Oracle Object Naming Standards/Conventions

I did a search on the Inet regarding recommended object (table, column, keys, ..., audit columns) naming conventions. I found different approaches, but I would like to know if there's a document with the naming conventions Oracle recommends/is using?
Thanks.

I have visited http://www.dba-oracle.com/standards_schema_object_names.htm
Oracle column naming Standards
Column Naming Standards
Column names should be spelled out whenever possible.
If a column name should exceed 30 characters, reduce the size of the column name in this order:
From the left of the column name, remove vowels from each word in the table name except for the first vowel of each word.
If the column name is still greater than 30 characters, use standardized shorthand indicators. Record this standard for consistent use.
I agree with the author that column names should be spelled out whenever possible. Some Oracle official database examples use abbreviations for column names but
I would prefer to user long Column Name that spells out the actual name.
For example, in Scott/tiger sample database, for EMP table, it is better to spell out the full name of column name so that UI design could be easier for the programmers.
EMPNO Employee_No
ENAME Employee_Name
JOB Job
MGR Manager_Employee_No
HIREDATE Hire_Date
SAL Salary
COMM Commision
DEPTNO Departmen_No
Since Forms Builder 10g and JDeveloper ADF can generate forms/applications using wizards, using a full column name will be better than an abbreviation, as the prompt for Item is automatically converted by Forms,
e.g. The prompt for Customer_Number becomes "Customer Number"
If you use abbreviation in column names, you need to change the prompts of generated forms manually.

Oracle Database 10g Standard Edition

Oracle Database 10g Standard Edition Suitable for medium sized organization. Actually it supports how many no of concurrent connection, workload??

Yes, it is suitable for, and is used in many medium sized organizations. It supports as many concurrent connections as possible until the operating system starts paging or swapping. At which time it slows down. I personally have seen it handle 125 concurrent connections.
You question is like asking 'will a Pentium 4 CPU handle Microsoft Powerpoint?'. And the answer is 'yes, of course'. But what about when you want to run video clips in Powerpoint?
There is no accurate way of answering your question without understanding the exact workload you plan on generating.

Is Oracle Application Server Standard Edition One available for purchase?

Is Oracle Application Server Standard Edition One available for purchase? I don't see it listed in the online Oracle store as available.
More information about this version of OAS can be found at http://www.oracle.com/appserver/feature_seone.html Would like to know
1) when it will be available
2) the differences between this version and OAS standard edition.
Thanks
Dev

Yes,
Oracle Linux 5.5 is actually inline with the related version of Red Hat linux as it runs on the same kernel.
So, yes, it is certified on this environment.
Also remember that OBIE Standard Edition is functionally the same ast OBIE Entprise Edition, the core difference are the licensing limitations of the Standard Edition which is based on the # of end-users.
Please award points if this was helpful.

How to Read Statspack Report in Oracle 11.2g Standard Edition

Dear All,
I am using Oracle 11.2g Standard Edition in Lab.
For the performance tuning, How can i read the Statspack Report ?
Please Note- I can't use the Oracle AWR feature due to License Limitation. As well as if i will generate AWR report with Oracle Standard Edition, it will be not proper and print error " DB time is zero for any interval Report.

Hi Summit,
In oracle 11g you will be finding the spcreate.sql script in the same directory as hemant said just run that script
@@$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/spcreate.sql
And follow the normal procedure which you do for creating the statspack report using the perfstat user
can you please refer to below link for more details:

Also see the link given by Aman sir.
Hi Aman sir its good to see you after long time.

What Metadata Standard is used for Face Regions?

Nice to see that LR6 now has support for Face Recognition and Face Regions. However, nowhere in the online help is it stated explicitly what metadata standards are used for the image regions.
I would hope that as Adobe is a member of the Metadata Working Group, then LR6 is using the metadata standard specified by the MWG for image regions.

It's the MWG.
Within Lightroom itself, the face regions are recorded inside the catalogue and this data is associated with keywords.
When you export a photo, unchecking the option Remove Person Info, the names are also written to the IPTC Extension Person Shown and the MWG Regions too.
I suggest you export a photo as above and examine its metadata in the Advanced tab of Bridge's FIle Info dialog box, or in some other metadata tool.

RMAN compression in Oracle 10g R2 Standard

Hi,
We're currently using Oracle 10g R2 Standard Edition on our production databases. I'm revising our backup strategy and I am very interested in RMAN compressed backupsets.
However, can you use the standard compression feature of RMAN in Standard Edition? Or do you need to upgrade to Enterprise Edition? I couldn't find this information in the Oracle documentation.
Please shed some light on this issue. Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
I don't think compressing the backupsets is forbidden with a SE license : it is not listed as an unavailable feature. Check note 465465.1 and contact your sales representative if you have similar doubts.
Best regards
Phil

Manual standby Oracle 11.1 standard edition

I have set up a standby DB for Oracle 11.1 standard edition.
Everything is done manually by using batchfiles and scripts.
Logiles are copied from the primary server to the standby server but when I try to register those I get an error ORA-00439: featue not enabled : managed standby
Do I need enterprise edition for this ? I thoguht it was possible to set up a physical standby if you do the logshipping yourself without using data guard.

Yes I know data guard is only available in Enterprise edition.
Hence I scripted the whole process and copy the archive logs myself.
So this means that doing this manually also won't work since it won't let me register the logfiles. I have done this in Oracle 10 standard edition. Guess my customer will need Enterprise version as from V11 then...

Oracle 10g listener standard

Hi all,
I am trying to define Oracle 10g listener standard in my organization.
We have 60 Oracle 9i databases in an AIX node. We are planning to upgrade these database to 10g. During upgrade we want to configure the listeners according to our standard.
Now we are not using dynamic registration for Oracle 9i databases. So there are 60 seperate listeners that always try to establish connections to the database even if the database is not up. This leads to server performance problems when the applications overload the server with connection attempts when there are hundreds of processes waiting to connect.
After upgrade, we want to make all databases register with a listener for performance problems. But one listener per node can be too risky, maybe we can register a database with more than one listener.
Also, there are some reasons for shutting the listener down:
1. Cold backup
2. Apply patches
If we use only one listener per node, for cold backup we would shut down the listener and then no clients would connect to the databases.
After these explanation, I am wondering if we can mix both reducing the number of the listeners for each node and using load balance for all databases.
Do you hane any ideas, suggestions?
Thanks,
Fatma

With Oracle 10g and RMAN there is no longer any reason to be doing cold backups.
I'd run one listener per node. If this is too risky than a single database instance is also too risky and you should be investigating other high-availabilty solutions. RAC isn't always the answer.
Connection manager might also be useful in your environment.
Cheers,
Colin

Oracle.spatial.geocoder.metadata

I am trying to Enable a Third party Geo-coder using the Sagent Centrus Real-Time Java API. The Oracle doc section 3.4 states that "Oracle offers a sample class, oracle.spatial.geocoder.Metadata to allow easy access..."
But - I cannot find it in the database, or on the file system, or in Technet.
Anyone have any additional information on the sample class provided? Or ideas on how to best "enable a third party geocoder".
Has anyone by chance already written the interface for Sagent's Java client?
Thanks.

From Oracle documentation it mentions that "
"The GC_PARSER_PROFILES and GC_PARSER_PROFILEAFS tables store address format definitions of all supported counties. These tables are used by the internal address parser in parsing postal addresses into addressing fields. The data for these two tables is provided by Oracle."
However, I am not seeing "GC_PARSER_PROFILES" in my schema.
Am I missing something?
Thank you,
J
