SDO_NFE.GET_INTERACTION

Format

SDO_NFE.GET_INTERACTION_GROUPS(
     model_id   IN SDO_NUMBER,
     rule_type  IN VARCHAR2,
     rule_id    IN NUMBER
     ) RETURN SDO_INTERACTION_ARRAY;

Description

Returns an array of groups of all features that are interacting at spatial points where the specified connectivity rule is being met.

Parameters

model_id: NFE model identifier.
rule_type: Connectivity rule type. Possible values: SDO_NFE.RULE_TYPE_LINE_LINE or SDO_NFE.RULE_TYPE_LINE_POINT.
rule_id: Rule identifier. Must be a value from the LINE_LINE_RULE or LINE_POINT_RULE table.

Usage Notes

This function returns an object of type SDO_INTERACTION_ARRAY, which is described in Data Types Used for NFE Connectivity Rules.

Each group of the interacting features returned by this function is composed of all the line and point features that interact at a specific spatial point where the specified rule is being met.

By returning the whole group of all interacting features at specific points, this function can help you if you want to create a customized way of connecting features depending on which other features (meeting the rule or not) are taking part in a specified interaction point. (See the discussion of rule decision handlers under NFE Rules.)

Examples

The following example gets the interacting groups which met the given line-point rule.

DECLARE
  model_id        NUMBER := 1;
  lp_rule_id      NUMBER := 1;
  inter_grps          SDO_INTERACTION_ARRAY;
BEGIN
 inter_grps := sdo_nfe.get_interaction_groups( model_id, 
END;
