SDO_CS.VALIDATE_EPSG

Format

SDO_CS.VALIDATE_EPSG_MATRIX(
     method_id    IN NUMBER, 
     parameter_id IN NUMBER, 
     matrix       IN CLOB 
     ) RETURN VARCHAR2;

Description

Validates an EPSG matrix of NADCON, NTv2, or VERTCON format.

Parameters

method_id: EPSG method ID to which the matrix refers.
parameter_id: EPSG parameter id identifying the matrix, if an operation has more than one matrix, such as NADCON.
matrix: Matrix CLOB (loaded, using SDO_CS.LOAD_EPSG_MATRIX or manually).

Usage Notes

You can load an EPSG matrix using the SDO_CS.LOAD_EPSG_MATRIX procedure.

Examples

The following example loads an NTv2 matrix for operation 1703 ("NAD27 to WGS 84 (32)"). For an NTv2 operation, a single matrix is sufficient, assigned to parameter ID 8656.
