SDO_LRS.CONVERT_TO_LRS_LAYER
Parameters
Usage Notes
table_name
Table containing the column with the SDO_GEOMETRY objects.
column_name
Column in table_name containing the SDO_GEOMETRY objects.
dim_name
Name of the measure dimension. If this parameter is null, M is assumed.
dim_pos
Position of the measure dimension within the SDO_DIM_ARRAY structure for the
specified SDO_GEOMETRY column. If this parameter is null, the number
corresponding to the last position is assumed.
lower_bound
Lower bound (SDO_LB value in the SDO_DIM_ELEMENT definition) of the
ordinate in the measure dimension.
upper_bound
Upper bound (SDO_UB value in the SDO_DIM_ELEMENT definition) of the
ordinate in the measure dimension.
tolerance
Tolerance value (see Section 1.5.5 and Section 7.6).
This function returns TRUE if the conversion was successful or if the layer already
contains measure information, and the function returns an exception if the
conversion was not successful.
An exception is raised if the existing dimensional information for the table is
invalid.
The measure values are assigned based on a start measure of zero and an end
measure of the cartographic length.
If a spatial index already exists on column_name, you must delete (drop) the index
before converting the layer and create a new index after converting the layer. For
information about deleting and creating indexes, see the DROP INDEX and
CREATE INDEX statements in Chapter 10.
