Geocode Status

The status of the geocoding process for the address record. For new address records, Oracle CRM On Demand sets the field to a null value.

If you edit an address, then Oracle CRM On Demand resets the field to a null value.

Geocode Match Code

The accuracy or quality of the geocoding process as indicated by a match code number. For a given match code, if multiple latitude and longitude matches are returned, Oracle CRM On Demand uses the first latitude and longitude match returned by Oracle Spatial.

Gecode Match Vector

A string of 17 characters that specifies the quality of matching of the input address attributes during the geocoding operation to derive the latitude and longitude associated with the address.
