Oracle Spatial: Spatial Concepts
1 Oracle Spatial 是什么？
    提供SQL schema 和 functions 以方便存储、取回、更新和查询空间特性的集合。
    MDSYS提供了地理数据的类型
2 Object-Relational Model
    SDO_GEOMETRY
    支持arcs, circles, compound polygons, compound line strings, and optimized rectangles
3 Spatial Data
    例如交通图
4 Geometry Types
    Points、point clusters
    Line strings
    n-point polygons
    Arc line strings
    Arc polygons
    Compound polygons
    Compound line strings
    Circles
    Optimized rectangles
5 Data Model
    elements, geometries, layers 所组成的等级结构。
    element: points, line strings, polygons
    Geometry:  An example of a geometry might describe the buildable land in a town.
    Layer: A layer is a collection of geometries having the same attribute set.
    Coordinate System: Cartesian coordinates, Geodetic coordinates, Projected coordinates, Local coordinates
    Tolerance: Tolerance is used to associate a level of precision with spatial data.
6 Query Model
    两级过滤。Primary filter, secondary filter.
7 Indexing of Spatial Data
    R-tree index
8 Spatial Relationships and Filtering
    SDO_RELATE: 评价拓扑标准 nine-intersection model between points, lines, and polygons (interior, a boundary, and an exterior.)
    SDO_WITHIN_DISTANCE: 两个空间对象是否在一个距离范围内。
    SDO_NN: 离某个空间对象最近的一个对象
9 Spatial Operators, Procedures, Functions
    Spatial operators: such as SDO_FILTER and SDO_RELATE
    Spatial procedures and functions: SDO_GEOM, SDO_CS, and SDO_LRS.
10 Spatial Aggregate Functions
    SDO_AGGR_MBR
    SDO_AGGR_UNION
11 Geocoding
    一个从地址表中转换到标准地址、位置等的过程。
12 Spatial Java Application Programming Interface
    oracle.spatial.geometry
    oracle.spatial.network
    oracle.spatial.topo
    oracle.spatial.util
13 MDDATA Schema

14 Performance and Tuning Information

15 Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Conformance
    Features Specification 1.1.1
    SQL92
16 Spatial Release (Version) Number
    SELECT SDO_VERSION FROM DUAL;
17 Spatial Application Hardware Requirement Considerations

18 Spatial Error Messages
    Oracle Database Error Messages
19 Spatial Examples
    readgeom.c and readgeom.h
