About Oracle Spatial and Graph on Windows

Oracle Spatial and Graph makes storage, retrieval, and manipulation of spatial data easier and more intuitive to users.

One example of spatial data is a road map. A road map is a two-dimensional object that contains points, lines, and polygons representing cities, roads, and political boundaries such as states. A road map represents geographic information. Locations of cities, roads, and political boundaries are projected onto a two-dimensional display or piece of paper, preserving relative positions and relative distances of objects.

Configuring Oracle Spatial and Graph on Windows Automatically

Learn how to configure Oracle Spatial and Graph automatically on Windows.

If you install Oracle Spatial and Graph through Enterprise Edition, then no manual configuration is required. All Oracle Spatial and Graph configuration tasks are performed automatically.

If you install both Oracle Spatial and Graph and Oracle Database together through Enterprise Edition or Standard Edition 2 installation, then Database Configuration Assistant starts automatically at the end of installation. If you select Custom installation and select Create new database, then the assistant asks if Oracle Spatial and Graph is to be configured automatically.

If you install Oracle Spatial and Graph during a separate installation from Enterprise Edition, then you must either start Oracle Database Configuration Assistant and select Configure database options or configure Oracle Spatial and Graph manually.
