Using the Geocoding Capabilities
To geocode an address using the geocoding data, use the SDO_GCDR PL/SQL
package subprograms, which are documented in Chapter 20:
■ The SDO_GCDR.GEOCODE function geocodes an unformatted address to
return an SDO_GEO_ADDR object.
■ The SDO_GCDR.GEOCODE_AS_GEOMETRY function geocodes an
unformatted address to return an SDO_GEOMETRY object.
■ The SDO_GCDR.GEOCODE_ALL function geocodes all addresses associated
with an unformatted address and returns the result as an SDO_ADDR_ARRAY
object (an array of address objects).
