Description:
The course extensively covers the concepts and usage of
the native data types, functions and operators available in
Oracle Spatial for implementing geospatial applications
and location-based services.
Using the Oracle Application Server MapViewer, students
learn how to render maps and view geospatial data managed
by Oracle Spatial or Locator. Students also get
introduced to basics of geocoding and routing concepts.
Demonstrations and hands-on practice reinforce the
fundamental concepts.
The Oracle Spatial: Essentials course is applicable to
both 10g and 11g audiences.
Learn to:
Load geometries into spatial layers
Create spatial layers by using the SDO_GEOMETRY data type
Employ spatial operators and functions to generate and
access 2D geometries
Setup and demonstrate Oracle Maps
Run spatial queries to perform spatial analysis
Use MapViewer and the Map Builder tool to render maps
