Spatial Data Types in ASE

Do you plan to support "Spatial Data Types" in ASE?

Spatial datatypes are supported through a third-party Specialty Data Store module, in this case the Spatial Query Server from Boeing. See Boeing&nbsp;Intelligence Systems Group (ISG)</title> <style type="text/css" media="scre…

ORA-01704 error form spatial data type (SDO_UTIL.FROM_WKTGEOMETRY)

I am trying to make a program (C# & ODP.NET)to do the task , get geometry data From sqlserver2008 database and INSERT INTO Oracle11 Spatial Database.
Because of using the Well-Known text (WKT) syntax , so I need to use "SDO_UTIL.FROM_WKTGEOMETRY('POLYGON ((56678400..." to insert geometry data to oracle. When the polygon text is longest than 4000 chr, I got the exception
[ORA-01704: string literal too long]
How can we solve this problem? It's urgent!
Hope to hear from you.
Fan

Try with bind variables:
oerr ora 1704
01704, 00000, "string literal too long"
// *Cause: The string literal is longer than 4000 characters.
// *Action: Use a string literal of at most 4000 characters.
// Longer values may only be entered using bind variables.Please read http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/issue-archive/2005/05-sep/o55odpnet-101704.html.

Why could not Oracle replicates tables which includes Spatial Data to Logical Standby?

Hi all,
Nowadays, i am working on Oracle Logical Standby Databases which includes Spatial Data? But i could not achieve to transport a table with multimedia data (with spatial data types ). But Logical Standby Databases can not support this type of tables? Is this a restriction of modelling Spatial and Geometry in data blocks? And how do i achieve this because i should use this secondary for query-only?
Kind Regards,

Some data types are simply not supported by logical standby replication. Depending on the version, this might or might not include Spatial.
11.2: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e41134/data_support.htm#SBYDB4936
12.1: https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/SBYDB/data_support.htm#SBYDB4936
If you need to replicate Spatial data, you need to look at other mechanisms. E.g., physical standby, materialized views, or GoldenGate.

Spatial data replication

Hi
Is it right place to ask regarding oracle spacial data replication using goldengate? I posted message goldengate thread but now one is replying to that...

Hi,
A few tips for getting useful responses on these forums:
- Give yourself a better name on OTN. User "931643" isn't great.
- Give your post a meaningful title such as "Spatial data replication using GoldenGate". Your post (Re:goldengate error over on the Goldengate forum had a subject of "goldengate error". That doesn't say much about your particular question.
- For this post on the Spatial forum - how about some more background information? What versions of the products? What exactly are you trying to do? What is not working? What error messages? Do you have a test case that somebody could easily reproduce? Have you got the replication working for non Spatial data types?
I've never used Goldengate so won't be able to help much, and I suspect your best bet of a useful response is on the Goldengate forums.
Have you checked the Goldengate documenation?
The "Oracle GoldenGate Oracle Installation and Setup Guide" is available on http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E35209_01/doc.1121/e29797.pdf
This says: Oracle GoldenGate supports SDO_GEOMETRY, SDO_TOPO_GEOMETRY, and SDO_GEORASTER (raster tables).So that looks promising, but check if that is the case for the Goldengate version your are on.
Check the following My Oracle Support articles:
"Does GoldenGate Extract Support Oracle Spatial?" [ID 971719.1]
"Extract Abend With OGG-00746 Error (100, no Data Found) Selecting Data in CheckForSynonym For Table With Column Type SDO_GEOMETRY" [ID 1382906.1]

Spatial data warehouse

hello,
i'm doing a research in spatial data warehouse, does anyone who had doing the same thing? and are there any article that explain about it? (especially the ETL process).
Does OWB support spatial data type?
thanks
hadi

Hi Hakan,
it's not easy to give a quick answer here.
a) you want to compare warehouse tables with spatial tables
To answer this very well you should define what is a warehouse table and what is a spatial table. In this forum you will get for spatial tables the definition "A spatial table is a table with one or more columns of type SDO_GEOMETRY". How do you define a spatial table and how do you define a warehouse table?
b) you ask for performance
Performance is not depending only on table type. Performance is depending on a lot of steps. For example on the work which has to be done to answer the question, can data read from buffer cache or must they be read from physical devices, execution plan .....
I don't know if there is a official statement from Oracle which is usefull to answer your query.
Can you ask a little bit particular please?
In my experience there it is not adviseable to store tables in different databases (instances) when I have to query it together. If you split the tables in different instances, the execution has much more overhead because you have to talk to 2 instances and it will very hard for the optimizer to find the best execution plan.

Spatial data in Eclipse Galileo - Unsupported data type

Hi
I am using Eclipse 3.5 Galileo. I have data stored in Oracle 10.2 tables containing columns of type SDO_GEOMETRY. When i try to open the tables (in Eclipse Data Debug perspective) i get an error unsupported data type. Obviously this is caused by the SDO_GEOMETRY.
Can anyone tell me the plugin that i need for reading and tabular display of the tables containing columns of spatial type ?

Hi, thank you for replay.
I have a Google Map tile layer. I'm building an HTML document that contains it. I want to represent geometries on. Geometries has been built taking coordinates from Google Map. I implemented this function to show the coordinates of the Google tile layer, where the mouse is:
+...+
mapview.addMapTileLayer(GoogleMapTileLayer);
+...+
mapview.attachEventListener(MVEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, mouseMove);
+...+
function mouseMove()
+{+
var mouseLoc = mapview.getMouseLocation();
var locStr = mouseLoc.getPointX() ', ' + mouseLoc.getPointY() ;+
+ document.getElementById("mouseMove").innerHTML= locStr;+
+}+
But coordinates I'm seeing with this function are not the same displayed by Google Map and I need it. And I think it's a problem of SRID because it is projected in EPSG:3857 ¿no?. But I want to project the Google Map tile layer in EPSG:4326, that is, the same Google Map SRID.
It is an Oracle Maps application with a MVGoogleTileLayer and the data to be displayed are in some ThemeBasedFOI.

How to load spatial data from .shp file

Could anyone suggest an easy to use, free tool to upload spatial data from .shp file (or/and other open source spatial file sources) into an Oracle Locator database?
We have licensing for ArcGIS10, but nobody (including ArcGIS) have been able to successfully create a direct connection from their software to our Oracle 10.2 database.
Client desktops here are Windows 7 64bit, which further complicates matters (tend to find neither ArcGIS nor Oracle support 64bit OS in a cogent fashion)

790951,
. . . .You can also try Oracle's ShapeFile Converter (shp2sdo). It's a command line utility so there's automation potential.
. . . .Note that ESRI's tools may (depending on how they're used) store spatial content in Oracle Spatial as BLOBs containing their ST_GEOMETRY data-type (rather than Oracle's SDO_GEOMETRY type).

Need to make a copy/clone of a table which has sdo_geometry data type

Folks,
We are running Oracle 11gr1 on Suse Linux platform.
We have a requirement, where we need to make a copy of a table, in the same database but in a difference schema, the source table has about 130 millions rows and also has the sdo_getometry data type.
I tried materialized view, but MV does not support sdo_geometry data type.
According to one of my DBAs, doing it via data pump , will take few days, which is not acceptable.
Is there a way, we can make a copy of this table in the same db ?
Thanks
Ashish

Siva,
This is not for backup purpose.
Here is the background information on this requirement.
I need to have a static copy of a table, which has spatial column, sdo_geometry in it.
So we can run another application against this table, just read-only, since we need static data, data in the source table changes quite often.
One of my DBA suggested to have another instance/database, to keep the copy of the source table, I thought idea of having another database just to keep a copy of a table is an over kill.
That is why I had asked this question and you had provided a viable solution.
Then we need to refresh this table , with the data (changes) from the source table, maybe once in 2- 3 weeks.
I tried creating a Materialized view, but it does not support Spatial columns.
So now I am trying to figure out, the most efficient way to refresh the clone table from the source table.
Regards,
Ashish

Retrieving spatial and non spatial data in one query

Hello. I am having slight difficulties using JDBC to retrieve both spatial and non spatial data in the same query. The following is code from a sample program of mine that retrives spatial data from spatial tables.
(In spatialquery geom is a geometry column and city is simply the name of the city):
try
Geometry geom = null;
String database = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@" + m_host + ":" + m_port + ":" + m_sid;
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
con = (OracleConnection)DriverManager.getConnection(database, sUsername, sPassword);
GeometryAdapter sdoAdapter =
OraSpatialManager.getGeometryAdapter("SDO", "8.1.7", STRUCT.class, null, null, con);
String spatialquery = "SELECT a1.geom, a1.city \n" +
"FROM cities a1";
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
OracleResultSet rs = (OracleResultSet) stmt.executeQuery(spatialquery);
int i = 0;
int noOfFeatures = 2;
while (rs.next())
for(i = 1; i <= noOfFeatures; i++)
STRUCT dbObject = (STRUCT)rs.getObject(i);
try
geom = sdoAdapter.importGeometry(dbObject);
catch(GeometryInputTypeNotSupportedException e)
System.out.println("Input Type not supported");
catch(InvalidGeometryException e)
System.out.println("Invalid geometry");
System.out.println(geom);
}//end while loop
This retrieves the sptial data fine, however when I attempt to retreive the non-spatial data I keep getting a "ClassCastException" error. I understand it is something to do with "STRUCT dbObject = (STRUCT)rs.getObject(i);" line. Can anyone tell me how to retrieve both spatial and non-spatial data in the one query using JDBC. I have tried nearly everything at this stage. Cheers joe

Problems with java constructor: "inconsistent data types" in SQL query

Hi,
I tried to define a type "point3d" with some member functions, implemented in java, in my database. Therefor I implemented a class Point3dj.java as you can see it below and loaded it with "loadjava -user ... -resolve -verbose Point3dj.java" into the database.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
package spatial.objects;
import java.sql.*;
public class Point3dj implements java.sql.SQLData {
public double x;
public double y;
public double z;
public void readSQL(SQLInput in, String type)
throws SQLException {
x = in.readDouble();
y = in.readDouble();
z = in.readDouble();
public void writeSQL(SQLOutput out)
throws SQLException {
out.writeDouble(x);
out.writeDouble(y);
out.writeDouble(z);
public String getSQLTypeName() throws SQLException {
return "Point3dj";
public Point3dj(double x, double y, double z)
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
this.z = z;
public static Point3dj create(double x, double y, double z)
return new Point3dj(x,y,z);
public double getNumber()
return Math.sqrt(this.x*this.x + this.y*this.y + this.z*this.z);
public static double getStaticNumber(double px, double py, double pz)
return Math.sqrt(px*px+py*py+pz*pz);
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Additionally, I created the corresponding type in SQL by
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE point3dj AS OBJECT EXTERNAL NAME
'spatial.objects.Point3dj' LANGUAGE JAVA USING SQLDATA (
x FLOAT EXTERNAL NAME 'x',
y FLOAT EXTERNAL NAME 'y',
z FLOAT EXTERNAL NAME 'z',
MEMBER FUNCTION getNumber RETURN FLOAT
EXTERNAL NAME 'getNumber() return double',
STATIC FUNCTION getStaticNumber(xp FLOAT, yp FLOAT, zp FLOAT) RETURN FLOAT
EXTERNAL NAME 'getStaticNumber(double, double, double) return double')
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After that I tried some SQL commands:
create table pointsj of point3dj;
insert into pointsj values (point3dj(2,1,1));
SELECT x, a.getnumber() FROM pointsj a;Now, the problem:
Everything works fine, if I delete the constructor
public Point3dj(double x, double y, double z)
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
this.z = z;
in the java class, or if I replace it with a constructor that has no input arguments.
But with this few code lines in the java file, I get an error when executing the SQL command
SELECT x, a.getnumber() FROM pointsj a;The Error is:
"ORA-00932: inconsistent data types: an IN argument at position 1 that is an instance of an Oracle type convertible to an instance of a user defined Java class expected, an Oracle type that could not be converted to a java class received"
I think, there are some problems with the input argument of the constructor, but why? I don't need the constructor in SQL, but it is used by a routine of another java class, so I can't just delete it.
Can anybody help me? I would be very glad about that since I already tried a lot and also search in forums and so on, but wasn't successful up to new.
Thanks!

Dear Avi,
This makes sense when it is a short code sample (and i think i've done that across various posts), but sometime this is too long to copy/paste, in these cases, i refer to the freely available code samples, as i did above on this forum; here is the quote.
Look at examples of VARRAY and Nested TABLES of scalar types in the code samples of my book (chapter 8) http://books.elsevier.com/us//digitalpress/us/subindex.asp?maintarget=companions/defaultindividual.asp&isbn=9781555583293&country=United+States&srccode=&ref=&subcode=&head=&pdf=&basiccode=&txtSearch=&SearchField=&operator=&order=&community=digitalpress
As you can see, i was not even asking people to buy the book, just telling them where to grab the code samples.
I appreciate your input on this and as always, your contribution to the forum, Kuassi

How to query / list table name with certain data type?

Hi all spatials,
Sorry for the dumb question. I need to make a query that list all table name that contain certain data type, eg. SDO_georaster. How to do this ?
Many thanks in advance

Skip it. I figured it : using USER_TAB_COLUMNS will definitely help.

How to add new data type

I need to add new data type like SDO_GEOMETRY in spatial Oracle.
I don't mean the User-Defined Datatype but new datatype imbed in the database.
It might be written in C++ or Java but I do not know how.
Any hints and help will be appreciated. Thanks,

> It is not simply defining new VARCHAR3.
I will compare embedded new built-in data type and UDT as part of my research.
What I really meant was what do you want from your new type that a user-defined object can't give you? (Apart from the obvious shortcomings of Oracle object types being addressed, but that could take a while.) You specifically said "I don't mean the User-Defined Datatype but new datatype imbedded in the database" and I wondered what you meant by that.

I need help in "HOW TO EXTEND THE DATA TYPE SYSTEM"......

Hi All,
I need to add new data type like SDO_GEOMETRY in spatial Oracle.
I don't mean the User-Defined Datatype but new datatype embed in the database.
I read the Data Cartridge Developer's Guide but it has info how to use more efficiently UDT through indexes.
Anybody used the “Type System” under Databases and Extensibility Services?
It might be written in C++ or Java but I do not know how.
Any hints and help will be appreciated.
Thanks,

> In Figure 1-1 Oracle Services, there is a "Type System" as Oracle Services.
The "Type System" is merely a compartmentalising the data type handling and implementation code/modules in Oracle.
This covers all types. Oracle native types, user defined types (UDTs), etc.
Saying that you want to create a new type in the "Type System" is basically saying you want to use the CREATE TYPE SQL command in Oracle.
> So, I want new_type1 and new_type2 behave like other built-in types, just the way
SDO_GEOMETRY works in Oracle Spatial Cartridge.
Not familiar with the SDO_GEOMETRY. Why do you mention this type specifically? What do you want to do similar?
> I have already done it with user-defined types. Now I need to do this way so that I can
compare and contrast in terms of speed, space...etc for part of my research.
Hmm.. I'm not sure what you are trying to compare ito of a UDT and Data Cartridge extensions. It is not one or the other. What research is this if I may ask?
Simplistically you extend the Type System with a new UDT/ADT. And there you have a new type data can be used in the SQL Engine and the PL/SQL engine. The OCI (Oracle Call Interface) supports such types via the OCI object API calls - which means this new type can also be used from Oracle clients written in Delphi, C++, Java, etc.
That new type can be a complex type. This type may need specific management code (memory management, context management, internationalisation, etc). To support this you can extend the UDT/ADT further by developing Cartridge Basic Service interfaces for the type - designing and writing management code to, for example, support specific internationalisation requirements when dealing with multibyte character sets.
You can also extend the UDT/ADT to be custom managed ito indexing, determining query optimisation, computing costs of custom methods/functions/operators on this custom data type. These extensions are done by developing Data Cartridge interfaces for the type.
Thus I cannot see what you are trying to compare. It is not one layer/interface versus another. These layers exist for all Oracle types (in the Type System). Oracle not only allows you to add to the top layer by adding/defining a new data type. It also allows you to customise (if needed) the layers below it.

Sybase ODBC driver for Linux - handle of numeric data type is not correctly

Linux RHEL 4 + Oracle 10.2.0.3 - all work fine. But numeric data type does not coorectly show values. I gor driver from ASE 15. Who has already resolve this issue???

To begin with:
- what is the table definition in Sybase?
- what is the table definition in Oracle: SQL> describe <table>@<sybase_hsodbc_link>;
and probably you need to start a gateway debug trace (HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL-DEBUG) and an ODBC trace to see what happens.
You could paste the appropriate section(s) here. Also paste the init<hsodbc>.ora and odbc.ini .
