Spatial data and 8i versions?

Is the Spatial Data option only available with the 8i Enterprise edition or is it also available with the 8i Standard edition?

Spatial is only available
with Enterprise edition.

Spatial Data and XML metadata

My project involves storing various types of spatial data in Oracle 8i. There is also going to be metadata collected for each project. The purpose of the metadata will be for discovery and retrieval of the spatial data. I would like to store the metadata entries (using WebDB to create entry form) as XML documents. What is the best way to create XML metadata from a HTML form? It appears that the new Xforms from W3C may accomplish this, although it's not really a standard yet. Also, it there a way to send the spatial data from a form created by WebDB? Would the XML metadata be stored in the spatial DB with the data or in a separate "metadata repository"? How would the metadata be attached to the data for query and discovery/retrieval? I appreciate any feedback. Thanks.

Jonrka1,
Spatial already uses a metadata table called user_sdo_geom_metadata where you need to store metadata for all of your spatial tables. Oracle spatial currently does not support metadata in XML format although it is being actively investigated in conjunction with Oracle 8i Spatial XML server. With the XML server you will be able to retrive spatial (and attribute) data as well as update the spatial table using XML.
Check OTN often for announcemnets on the XML server and related products.
For your customized XML spatial metadata you can store it anywhere (with a spatial db or in a separate repository), and you will have to maintain the link between the metadat and the real data yourself.

Incorporating Spatial Data and maps

I am trying to figure out how to create a map from spatial data w/in forms9i, but I can't find any documentation. Has anyone been succesful at this?
Thanks,
Jeremy.

to use read_image_file() to show map on form is to show the map as static image, user cannot click ROOM IN button, then click a point on the image to show the details.
so to get it inside form and want the map to respond like on browser is interested feature to know, and also the download time and performance if finally done inside form is a big question mark too.
simply running the mapviewer on browser is properly the better way compared to invoke it inside form.

Spatial Data and Calc Views

Hi there,
I've been wondering if there is currently any way to use Spatial Data in Calculation or Analityc Views, to summarize or join data by Spatial Columns, and using Spatial methods in Hana SPS07? If so, could you provide some example?
Thanks in advance.

Publish date and Current Version

Hi - I've got auditing configured for my page group.
I'd like to create a new version of my item which is to be published at a date in the future, replacing the existing version which will remain valid until then.
Is this achievable using 'out of the box' features? It seems that if I set the new item to the current version, then nothing is displayed until the publish date. If I leave the existing item as current, then the new item is never displayed without manually switching the version to be current independent of publish date.
Any ideas?
thanks

hi,
the problem is that the publish date is only active for the current version of the item. so it is not possible to publish a version of an item at a given time because you need to make it the current version before the attribute publish date is active as well.
the only workaround i can think of is using CM APIs:
http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/PDK/plsql/doc/pldoc_9026/wwsbr_api.html
there is a function called modify_item. you could run a job that modifies the items you want to modify at a given date and add them as a new version or update the existing version of the item.
unfortunately, your usecase is currently not covered from within the Browser UI.

christian

CS3/CS4 - Persistent data and different versions of plugin

Hi there,
In my plugin I have persistent data on e.g., the document and page items.
Say that I'm in version 1.0 of my plugin has a single persistent data field on the document, and that is wish to add a second field for version 1.1.
Does the SDK contain some form of functionallity for merging an old document into a new one that conform with the new fields?
Basically, my problem is that I do not know if I'm allowed to read the new persistent field in my ReadWrite function, since the current document could be created using version 1.0.
I guess that one solution is to tag the document with a version, and use that to determine the functionality of the ReadWrite function? However that do not seem as the most elegant solution...
I hope somebody understands my problem, and has a more sophisticated solution
Thanks
Kind regards Toke

There are basically two ways to deal with this situation.
The first is to let InDesign treat your data as a blob, include your own version number in the blob and parse the blob yourself based on the version number. In this scenario you generally keep your plug-in's version resources the same, so InDesign doesn't know you've changed data formats.
The second is the InDesign way, in that you define a schema resource for each format version of your plug-in. Doing this places constraints on your data, in that changes have to be moderately simple so that InDesign can apply changes to the older versions of your data to bring them up to the current schema.
See Schema.fh in the SDK.
The sample /Adobe_InDesign_CS4_Products_SDK/source/sdksamples/framelabel/FrmLbl.fr also uses schema resources.
The key is to be careful about syncing changes in your data with changes to your plug-in's format version numbers, as well as keeping your data simple enough for the schema system to update it. If you don't, then you need to get into schema updating code and a bunch more work.

TimesTen and Geo-spatial data

Can TimesTen support geo-spatial data (and datatypes) as supported in Oracle? For example, if one created a set of Oracle tables that held geo-spatial data, could TimesTen be used in its "caching" form to speed geo-spatial queries?
Thanks!
--rick grehan

No, sorry. TimesTen does not support Geo-spatialo datatypes or functions.

Which driver to use for Satellite A300 - Latest one, by date or by version?

For my laptop (A300-1HV) I am looking at the driver downloads available.
There are many drivers which have a LATER modified date but LOWER version number.
Or if you like, an EARLIER modified date and HIGHER version number.
How do I decide which is the most up-to-date driver?
Thanks.

You can install your own operating system without problems. As you can see all necessary drivers, tools and utilities you can find on Toshiba support page.
To be honest I do not understand what confuses you so much. Usually there is one driver for each hardware component and just one version for each tool or utility.
If you have question about some specific driver or tool please let us know and we can try to help you.
Please install all stuff following installations order. If you cannot find it let us know.
Good luck!

DISPLAY SPATIAL DATA USING JDBC ON A JAVA FRAME

I am trying to set up some spatial data and need help in getting some sample
code for displaying the data on a Java Frame using JDBC.
The shapes I am setting up are simple polygons, lines, circles. I was going
through the samples in the demo directory under $ORACLE_HOME/md/demo/examples, but could not find any JDBC
I would really appreciate if you can point me towards some sample code and any other spatial resources.

Here you go. It uses JDBC to fetch geoms, convert them into Java JGeometry objects, which then create Java2D shapes (these are functions of the public sdoapi.jar library). It then uses some class in the sdovis.jar library (the rendering engine of MapViewer) to setup the necessary viewport transform. If you know how to setup the viewport transform, then you dont even need sdovis. sdovis.jar is found in an deployed MapViewer's WEB-INF/lib directory. Or you can extract it from the mapviewer.ear's web.war file.

Exporting non spatial data

Hi,
We are migrating our geodatabase from oracle 9i to 11g R2, in our current 9i DB we have same schema for spatial and non spatial data,we want to seperate the spatial and non spatial data during migration to 11gR2 DB.Is there any way through which we can extract only non spatial data and can import it to new schema without loosing any relationships/data.
Regards,

Hi
Do you wants to separate the spatial data and non spatial data into two different table spaces or two different schema ?. if you're trying to move non spatial data to a different schema then definitely you need to do some changes . at least create some synonyms with appropriate grants to work normal.
if you wants to move it to a different table space then it's easy .
*1. Create the tables definition for non spatial data related table using new tablespace*
*2. grant the realted user the quota on the new tablespace*
*3. start the import using ignore=Y*
Cheers

Spatial data through JDBC driver

Hi,
I have a spatial table which has polygon, linestring and points stored in the geometry column. Is there any API available to know whether the stored data is ploygon/point/linestring. I am using thin JDBC driver to connect to Oracle. Also are there APIs available to get the coordiniates, offset etc from polygon. Please let me know if there are any tutorials/examples available for working with spatial data and JDBC driver.
Smitha

Hi,
You could use Oracle Spatial Java Class Library, available at: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/spatial/index.html
It is quite easy to use it.

Development tools for using Spatial Data

Hi everyone,
What are the best tools that are used to develop the spatial applications that you guys are using/developing? Should I get something like eSpatial, or just develop in notepad?? Is there something else that uses your spatial data and can generate maps based on your data in your database?
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi Daniel,
Thanks!
I am looking to develop a map of the US that shows the locations of military bases that we are responsible for monitoring. This map will have an icon near the name of each of the bases that is colored depending on if a trouble ticket has been created due to an outage or problem at the location. Example, red for a network outage, green if nothing is going on. What I am struggling with is where do I get all the geometry to create the map of the US, or can I just use images that are already created and specify the X and Y on that image and use long/lat of the bases and create the locations. This is not a topic I have a lot of experience in as you can see, but it is something I have been assigned to work on.
Thanks!

You an use your iPhone without connecting it to a computer.
But the product description for the iPhone clearly states that in order to sync with a Mac you must have OSX 10.6.8 or later. That version of the OSX is usually called Snow Leopard. There are two mo recent versions of OSX. OSX 10.7.x (Lion) and OSX 10.8.x (Mountain Lion).
If you can upgrade your computer to at least Snow Leopard I suggest you do so.

In Windows 7 using Adobe Reader XI (11.0.07) was able to copy an item (name, number, date) and paste in another document. In Windows 8.1 using same version of Adobe Reader XI (11.0.07) not able to do this. Any solutions?

With computer running Windows 7 using the curser can select an item, then right click and select copy. With computer running Windows 8 there is a hand instead of a curser therefore unable to select an item, therefore unable to copy. Is there a way to have a curser rather than the hand?
Eureka!!! Just found by right clicking on the hand can then select “Select Tool” and then copy. Hurray!!!

Getting previous and current versions by date in RoboSourceControl

(RoboHelp 8 with RoboSource Control 3.1) Hello, I want the ability to revert back to a previous version of my RoboHelp project (i.e. by date and/or time) and then return to the most current version of the project from source control. I know that CVS clients have the ability to do a special update to grab a version of a checked in module by date/time, but I can't seem to see how this is done in RoboSourceControl. I see that there is the notion of tags in RoboSource Control, which seem to allow me to roll back my codebase to a date/time based on this tag, but when I do that, I can't see how to then go back to the current version of the project. Am I missing something here, or is that not possible with RoboSource Control?

Actually I haven't set up the remote debug option yet, so there is no specific line to point.
But I can clearly say that executing the method didn't create any problem.
The problem occurs when I add the second part.
That's why I thought that I am not following the right way to obtain the iterator by ValueExpression. So I am asking for the right expression to do it.
Thanks.
