Oracle - spatial join

Regarding spatial operations like SDO_ANYINTERACT and other you should remember: only one parameter can be a layer (spatially indexed geometry column), the other must represent one spatial object.

Let's try:

I want to know which objects from LAYER_1 has "anyinteract" realationship with the object 103 from LAYER_2.

select id

from layer_1

where SDO_ANYINTERACT(

        geom

        ,

        (select geom from layer_2 where id = 103)

        ) = 'TRUE'

;

        ID

----------

         1

         3

As soon as the second parameter represents one object we'll get the result. But if there are more objects (in this case we'll take two: object 102 and 103) – we won't. Let's try:

select id

from layer_1

where SDO_ANYINTERACT(

        geom

        ,

        (select geom from layer_2 where id in (103,102))

        ) = 'TRUE'

;

ORA-29902: error in executing ODCIIndexStart() routine

ORA-01427: single-row subquery returns more than one row

29902. 00000 -  "error in executing ODCIIndexStart() routine"

*Cause:    The execution of ODCIIndexStart routine caused an error.

*Action:   Examine the error messages produced by the indextype code and

           take appropriate action.

Proper way to do it is the spatial join as follows:

select x.id

from layer_1 x

  join layer_2 y on (SDO_ANYINTERACT(x.geom,y.geom) = 'TRUE')

where y.id in (103,102);

        ID

----------

         1

         3

         5

All the 'anyinteract' relationships we obtain by the following SQL:

select x.id LYR_1, y.id LYR_2

from layer_1 x

  join layer_2 y on (SDO_ANYINTERACT(x.geom,y.geom) = 'TRUE')

;

     LYR_1      LYR_2

---------- ----------

         1        103

         2        101

         3        103

         5        102

We can also display what exact type of relationship is this:

select

    x.id LYR_1

  , y.id LYR_2

  ,SDO_GEOM.RELATE(x.geom, 'determine', y.geom, 1e-2) as REL

from layer_1 x

  join layer_2 y on (SDO_ANYINTERACT(x.geom,y.geom) = 'TRUE')

;

    LYR_1      LYR_2         REL                      

---------- ----------------- -------------------------

         1        103        OVERLAPBDYINTERSECT 

         2        101        CONTAINS                

         3        103        OVERLAPBDYINTERSECT     

         5        102        OVERLAPBDYINTERSECT

DatabaseError: Invalid handle! while reading LOB in Python/cx_Oracle

I've spend much time on this:

orcl = cx_Oracle.connect(usrpass+'@'+dbase)
c = orcl.cursor()
c.execute(sq)
dane =  c.fetchall()

orcl.close() # before reading LOB to str

wkt = dane[0][0].read()

And I get: DatabaseError: Invalid handle!

But the following code works, because connection is closed after reading LOB to STR:

orcl = cx_Oracle.connect(usrpass+'@'+dbase)
c = orcl.cursor()
c.execute(sq)
dane =  c.fetchall()

wkt = dane[0][0].read()

orcl.close() # after reading LOB to str

Fork/Join under a condition

After an Activity 1 there is an Activity 2 and - under a certain condition - simultaneously Activity 3. After Act.2 and Act.3 are finished or after only Act.2 is finished (if the condition is not fulfilled) there is an Act.4. The problem is how to model this on an Activity diagram? 

Below there are two Act. diagrams showing this situation:

The above diagram comprises a problem. What if the condition is not fulfilled? How long should we wait after Act.2 to start  Act.4?

This digram shows the solution: we should use decision diamond representing the condition. If the condition is not fulfilled the flow goes to the Join and waits for the end of Act.2 then flow goes to Act.4

How to count size od tables in Oracle Spatial?

Generally:

SELECT round((bytes/1024/1024/1024),1) size_GB
FROM dba_segments
WHERE owner = <OWNER_NAME> and segment_name = <TABLE_NAME>;

Use the above select for:

1) Table itself.

2) Indexes for the table (put them as <TABLE_NAME> in the above statement). You can retrieve them as follows:

2.1) Indexes:

SELECT index_name

FROM all_indexes

WHERE table_owner = <OWNER_NAME>and table_name = <TABLE_NAME>;

2.2) Spatial indexes:

SELECT sdo_index_table

FROM all_sdo_index_info

WHERE table_owner = <OWNER_NAME>and table_name = <TABLE_NAME>;

Dictionary iteration - ValueError: too many values to unpack

If you get the following error trying to iterate on a dictionary:

 

ValueError: too many values to unpack

 

you have forgotten add iteritems() method:

 

for k,v in dict.iteritems():
    print k, v

How to select value of SDO_GEOMETRY Object

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e11830/sdo_objrelschema.htm#i1004087

States:

"Oracle Spatial defines the object type SDO_GEOMETRY as:

CREATE TYPE sdo_geometry AS OBJECT (
 SDO_GTYPE NUMBER,
 SDO_SRID NUMBER,
 SDO_POINT SDO_POINT_TYPE,
 SDO_ELEM_INFO SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY,
 SDO_ORDINATES SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY); "

Let's assume we have a "TABLE" with SDO_GEOMETRY Type field named "GEOM".
If you want to get the values of certain SDO_GEOMETRY Type field and make query like this:

select geom.SDO_GTYPE from table;

You'll get ORA-00904 Error: "invalid identifier".

Try with table name alias:

select t.geom.SDO_GTYPE from table t;

GEOM.SDO_GTYPE
