SDO_GEOR.isBlank

Format

SDO_GEOR.isBlank(
     georaster  IN SDO_GEORASTER
     ) RETURN VARCHAR2;

Description

Returns the string TRUE if the GeoRaster object is a blank GeoRaster object, or FALSE if the GeoRaster object is not a blank GeoRaster object.

Parameters

georaster

GeoRaster object.

Usage Notes

In a blank GeoRaster object, all cells have the same cell value.

To change the cell value of an existing blank GeoRaster object, use the SDO_GEOR.setBlankCellValue procedure. To return the cell value of a specified GeoRaster object, use the SDO_GEOR.getBlankCellValue function.

Examples

The following example determines whether or not each GeoRaster object in the GEORASTER column of the GEORASTER_TABLE table is a blank GeoRaster object. (The GEORASTER_TABLE table definition is presented after Example: Using storageParam Keywords in Storage Parameters.)

SELECT georid, substr(sdo_geor.isBlank(georaster),1,7) isBlank
  FROM georaster_table;

    GEORID ISBLANK
---------- -------
         2 FALSE
         4 FALSE
