Examples
SDO_GCDR.GEOCODE(
username IN VARCHAR2,
addr_lines IN SDO_KEYWORDARRAY,
country IN VARCHAR2,
match_mode IN VARCHAR2
) RETURN SDO_GEO_ADDR;
Geocodes an unformatted address and returns the result as an SDO_GEO_ADDR
object.
username
Name of the user that owns the tables containing the geocoding data.
addr_lines
An array of quoted strings representing the unformatted address to be geocoded. The
SDO_KEYWORDARRAY type is described in Section 11.2.3.
country
Country name or ISO country code.
match_mode
Match mode for the geocoding operation. Match modes are explained in Section 11.1.2.
This function returns an object of type SDO_GEOR_ADDR, which is described in
Section 11.2.1. It performs the same operation as the SDO_GCDR.GEOCODE_AS_
GEOMETRY function; however, that function returns an SDO_GEOMETRY object.
The following example geocodes the address of City Hall in San Francisco, California,
using the RELAX_BASE_NAME match mode. It returns the longitude and latitude
coordinates of this address as -122.41815 and 37.7784183, respectively.
