We all make mistakes. I made a good one this month. I had to modify (DDL) a very, very large table to change the size of existing columns. I didn’t think that this would cause me any problems, and so I didn’t drop any indexes. Was I ever wrong! Checking why it was taking soRead More
Oracle allows single part and multipart geometry objects to existing in a single SDO_GEOMETRY column. For example, a polygon and a multipolygon. This is because the SDO_GEOMETRY object type is singly inherited. (This also means that a single column can also hold geometries from different geometry types eg points, lines and polygons: common in CADRead More
Here is a function that takes a any polygon whose elements are defined by an optimized rectangle and converts all elements to 5 vertex polygons. Polygon may be multi; may have non-optimized rectangle components. Does NOT process geometries with compound elements. Now let’s test the function: Results are as follows: DESCRIPTION VALIDORIGINALGEOM VGEOM POLY SingleRead More
The populate CENTROID package has been modified. It now allows the caller of the CENTROID_A function to invoke Y ordinate seeding. This is what it looks like. I hope this enhancement is of use to someone.
I demonstrated in this article the usefulness of having a vectorising function in one’s spatial database kitbag (there are Vectorize functions in my CENTROID and GEOM packages – in particular the Vectorize function is vital to the implementation of the algorithm in my CENTROID.ST_CENTROID function). So, I have also added one to my SQL ServerRead More
