SDO_CS.CONVERT_XML_TO

Format

SDO_CS.CONVERT_XML_TO_NTV2(
     xml_grid  IN XMLTYPE, 
     ntv2_clob OUT CLOB);

Description

Converts an Oracle Spatial XML representation of an NTv2 (National Transformation Version 2) grid to NTv2 ASCII format.

Parameters

xml_grid: XML document containing the Oracle Spatial XML representation of the NTv2 grid.
ntv2_clob: Output CLOB object containing the values for the NTv2 grid.

Usage Notes

To convert an NTv2 grid in ASCII format to an Oracle Spatial XML representation, use the SDO_CS.CONVERT_NTV2_TO_XML procedure.

Examples

The following example converts an NTv2 grid in ASCII format to an Oracle Spatial XML representation, converts the resulting XML representation back to an NTv2 ASCII representation, and displays the resulting ASCII representation. (Only part of the output is shown.)
