This course teaches students how to model and create tables with spatial data, index spatial data, and discusses how to spatially enable applications. Students learn about Oracle's native data type for spatial data (SDO_GEOMETRY) and the geometric primitives it supports. Additionally, students learn how to load spatial data into Oracle database with various Oracle utilities, how to appropriately create spatial indexes for optimal performance, and how to query spatial data and perform spatial analysis with spatial operators, functions, and procedures. Additional topics include Oracle Spatial's Geocoder, Oracle Spatial's Linear Referencing System (LRS), coordinate systems support in Oracle Spatial and publishing maps to the web with Oracle Application Server MapViewer and teaches the advanced features of Oracle Spatial. New features of Oracle Spatial 10g that simplify spatial queries, application development, and deployment are also covered. This course covers the advanced Spatial indexing features, including local partitioned spatial indexes, function based spatial indexes, and spatial indexes on embedded spatial objects within objects. Other topics teach how to use Oracle Spatial GeoRaster, Oracle Spatial's open solution for storing digital imagery and grid data in the database, as well as how to display raster data with Oracle Application Server MapViewer. This course explains how to use Oracle Spatial's Geocoder to return location information based on address data, and Oracle Spatial's Router to generate driving directions between locations.
Additionally, one learns how Oracle Spatial Topology Data Model stores topology information in the database, as well as the Oracle Spatial Network Data Model, which stores network information in the database for graph analysis. This course also covers Spatial Analysis and Mining and Oracle Workspace Manager.
This course counts towards the Hands-on course requirement for the Oracle Database 10g Administrator Certification. Only instructor-led inclass or instructor-led online formats of this course will meet the Certification Hands-on Requirement. Self Study CD-Rom and Knowledge Center courses are excellent study and reference tools but DO NOT meet the Hands-on Requirement for certification.
