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.

  • Using Java with Oracle Spatial

    I am using the JDBC (Java classes dowloaded from
    technet.oracle.com - (sdoapi.zip)) together with Oracle Spatial
    8.1.6. I am writing a collection of Linestrings into Oracle
    Spatial using the supplied java classes(sdoapi.zip). I use the
    function createGeometryCollection(myCollection)to write the
    Linestring collection to Oracle Spatial and they are written to
    the database without error. However, when I try to read the
    object back I get the following error:
    Exception in thread "main"
    oracle.sdoapi.geom.InvalidGeometryException
    at oracle.sdoapi.adapter.AdapterSDO.importGeometry
    (AdapterSDO.java:101)
    at
    MapInfoToOracleSpatial.MapInfoToOracleSpatial.main
    (MapInfoToOracleSpatial.java:211)
    I do not have a listing of this code so can you please tell me
    what the error is (line of code) at line 211. Also, when I use
    the Oracle Spatial Index Advisor to view the spatial data, it
    only displays a quarter of the data. When I use MapInfo to view
    it's equivalent TAB (Table) file it views correctly all the
    data.
    I can't understand why this is happening because the writing to
    oracle and creation of each individual linestring does not
    throw an error. It is only when I try to read back larger
    objects from the database (2500 points) that it gives an error.
    Is there a limitation on the size one can create linestrings?
    Thanks

    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.

  • Uploading bulk data in oracle spatial

    Hi,
    I need to upload a map data in (input is ESRI File geodatabase) in Oracle Spatial using ArcSDE.
    I have Oracle spatial 10g, ArcGIS desktop 9.3. I am able to connect the oracle spatial data using arcsde and i am able to view those maps in arcmap. Also, i am able to upload small esri shape files in oracle spatial using esri arccatalog through arcsde.
    I would like to know, the steps to be followed to upload a road network for North america (around 15gb) data as SDO. If there is any document available it will be more useful for me.
    Or pls. share your experience in this.
    Thanks,
    Vadivelan. P

    Yikes,
    You won't require 150 gig of undo to load your data with ESRI tools. Noel might need to start a new thread to discuss that issue as his bulk loader may need some tuning. :p
    All ESRI bulk loaders use a rather modest auto-commit. ArcCatalog is 1000 records and sdeimport is 2000 records by default. So after loading that many records the tool does a commit and thus avoids much undo at all. You can easily change this number to tune performance (higher for point data, lower for huge honkin' polygons) in the parameters.
    At this point I would say the heck with all these torpedoes and give your load a try. You stated in the very first thread that you have loaded shapefiles successfully into Oracle Spatial so the assumption is you have your dbtune keywords setup and are all set with the issues of mapping ESRI coordinate systems into Oracle Spatial. So full steam ahead! Another idea would be to load a small subset of the data and make sure its correct to your needs before doing the whole thing. My opinion is I don't think you need to worry about the 15 gig size of the load. Yes it will take some time to do but I would bet whatever problems you run into are the same you would face with a 15 meg load.
    Cheers and good luck,
    Paul

  • ArcInfo and ArcSDE / Oracle Spatial

    Hello,
    I saw some discussion on ArcInfo and Oracle Spatial and thought of asking this question.
    I have ArcInfo software,some ArchInfo boundary Files that need to be loaded into ArcSDE and Oracle Spatial.
    I want to convert ArcInfo boundary files into ArcSDE format.
    I want to send ArcSDE export dump so that it can be imported into ArcSDE licenced server elsewhere.
    For doing this work do I need ArcSDE as I am not going to use ArcSDE. I want to just convert ArcInfo files into ArcSDE and send it.
    Any suggestions are welcome.
    Thanks for the help.

    This is a very interesting topic, I have never seen or read a detailed comparison of the functionality within ArcSDE and Oracle Locator/Spatial. I have worked with both of these for five years or more, and if this comparison was made using the most current versions of these products, it is my opinion that these are fuctionally equivalent. Fundamentally, they differ in how spatial analysis is performed, Oracle Spatial uses Max Egenhoffers model, while ArcSDE implements the Clementini operators. When comparing ESRI's implementation of "versioning" with Oracle's Workspace Manager, I think Workspace Manager is a superior design, and has more flexibility/fuctionality. Besides, it is more open to choices in client applications, since the long transactions are part of the database, rather than the client application (ArcInfo Desktop). What is missing in Workspace Manager is a Java API.
    In general, the SDO_GEOMETRY scales better for large databases than using LONG_RAW (SDEBINARY).
    Thats my $0.02 worth. I just recieved a copy of MapInfo Professional 8.0, and they claim to support long transactions in Oracle. Will investigate.

  • Clipping algorithm implemented in Oracle Spatial for SDO_INTERSECTION

    Hi!
    Does anybody knows which clipping algorithm is implemented in Spatial for SDO_INTERSECTION function in 10g or 11g? It's probably some of well-known algorithm (Sutherland–Hodgman, Weiler–Atherton, Vatti ...) with some modifications made to it. I'm just not sure which one. I'm doing a short presentation on Oracle Spatial clipping capabilities so that info might come in handy.
    Thanks!
    rawcofe

    Thanks for your post. Yes, Sutherland-Hodgman is good and easy to implement if you have convex clipping polygons. However, i do not need to implement it. I just want to know which algorithm Oracle Spatial uses for clipping so I can describe it in greater detail during my presentation. :-)

  • 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

  • Are Oracle spatial java libraries redistributable?

    Hi,
    Do you have any idea about Oracle's policy on distributing Oracle Spatial Java Class Libraries? Can our software that is targeted for commercial purpose distribute it?
    We are using these SDO java libraries.
    oracle_sdo.jar
    sdoapi.jar
    sdogr.jar
    sdonm.jar
    sdotopo.jar
    sdoutl.jar
    Also if redistribution is not allowed, can our users having Oracle DB license, copy these libraries from their Oracle DB machine to the machine where our product is installed.
    Please guide us to appropriate web link on this topic. We could not get clear information by going through Oracle sites.
    Thanks in advance,
    Subrahmanyam.

    Go to: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/spatial/index.html
    Then click one of the downloads and you get the "Oracle Technology Network Development and Distribution License Terms". The second box covers the distribution license.
    I'm sure that its covered in there .... Lots of Legal Mumbo-Jumbo ...... But it contains this line:
    "You may also distribute the programs with your applications to your customers."
    So it looks like "Yes" is the answer to your question !
