Changes in Oracle Database Release 21c
The following are changes in Oracle Spatial GeoRaster Developer's Guide for Oracle Database Release 21c.
New Formats for SDO_GEOR_RA.stack Procedure
For the SDO_GEOR_RA.stack procedure, several new formats are added with SYS_REFCURSOR input and simplified band number specification using the bandNumber parameter. Previously, only SDO_GEORASTER_ARRAY input was available for this procedure.
New mask Parameter Formats for SDO_GEOR.generateStatisticsXxx Functions
Each SDO_GEOR.generateStatisticsXxx function has a new format that includes the mask parameter, allowing you to use a bitmap mask to specify the pixels or areas for the statistics calculation. For information, see the following reference topics: SDO_GEOR.generateStatistics, SDO_GEOR.generateStatisticsMax, SDO_GEOR.generateStatisticsMean, SDO_GEOR.generateStatisticsMedian, SDO_GEOR.generateStatisticsMin, SDO_GEOR.generateStatisticsMode, SDO_GEOR.generateStatisticsSTD, and SDO_GEOR.generateStatisticsSum.
New Function in SDO_GEOR Package
SDO_GEOR.generateStatisticsSum is added to the SDO_GEOR package. This function computes statistical data associated with one or more layers, and returns the sum value.
GDAL Upgraded to Version 2.4.0
The GDAL integrated with GeoRaster is upgraded to version 2.4.0.
