Spatial
Spatial: 3D Models and Analytics
The point cloud feature of Oracle Database supports change detection through SQL and PL/SQL APIs.
This feature automates discovery of relevant changes between two point clouds, enabling easy inclusion in applications, such as modeling changes in forest canopies, assessing damages to landscape due to fire, flood, landslides, or earthquakes, and measuring progress over time in infrastructure projects.
Spatial: REST APIs for GeoRaster
Oracle Database includes a comprehensive set of REST APIs for working with GeoRaster data such as satellite imagery.
In addition to existing PL/SQL and Java APIs, developers can use REST APIs to perform GeoRaster query and data manipulation operations. This feature simplifies the development of cloud applications which frequently depend on REST APIs.
PL/SQL API to Generate Spatial Vector Tiles for Map Visualization
Developers can use SQL to generate vector tiles, a dynamic mapping technology, to convert geometries stored in the Oracle Database into vector tiles for efficient map rendering capabilities in web applications.
The utilization of vector tiles in map visualization enables businesses to deliver customizable, efficient, and engaging map experiences.
Workspace Manager: Improved Security when using Oracle Workspace Manager
Database users can have workspace manager objects in their own schema instead of in the WMSYS schema.
Oracle Workspace Manager enables collaborative development, what-if analysis from data updates, and maintains a history of changes to the data. Developers can create multiple workspaces and group different versions of table row values in different workspaces. With this enhancement, developers have improved security when using this feature. All the workspace manager objects can be stored and invoked in their own user schema in Oracle Autonomous Database and user-managed databases.
