SDO_NET.CREATE_LRS

Format

SDO_NET.CREATE_LRS_TABLE(
     table_name         IN VARCHAR2,
     geom_column        IN VARCHAR2,
     storage_parameters IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL);

Description

Creates a table for storing Oracle Spatial linear referencing system (LRS) geometries.

Parameters

table_name: Name of the table containing the geometry column specified in geom_column.
geom_column: Name of the column (of type SDO_GEOMETRY) to contain geometry objects.
storage_parameters: Physical storage parameters used internally to create the LRS table. Must be a valid string for use with the CREATE TABLE statement. For example: TABLESPACE tbs_3 STORAGE (INITIAL 100K NEXT 200K). If you do not specify this parameter, the default physical storage values are used.

Usage Notes

This procedure creates a table named table_name with two columns: GEOM_ID of type NUMBER and geom_column of type SDO_GEOMETRY.

Although the created table does not need to be used to store LRS geometries, the procedure is intended as a convenient method for creating a table to store such geometries. You will probably want to modify the table to add other columns before you store data in the table.

Examples

The following example creates a table named HIGHWAYS with a geometry column named GEOM.

EXECUTE SDO_NET.CREATE_LRS_TABLE('HIGHWAYS', 'GEOM');
