The MDSYS.SDO_NET package contains subprograms (functions and procedures) for managing networks. To use the subprograms in this chapter, you must understand the conceptual information in Chapter 5.
For a listing of the subprograms grouped in logical categories, see Section 5.11.1. The rest of this chapter provides reference information about the subprograms, listed in alphabetical order.
Format
SDO_NET.COMPUTE_PATH_GEOMETRY(
network IN VARCHAR2,
path_id IN NUMBER,
tolerance IN NUMBER
) RETURN SDO_GEOMETRY;
Description
Returns the spatial geometry for a path.
Parameters
Network name.
Path ID number.
Tolerance value associated with geometries in the network. (Tolerance is explained in Chapter 1 of Oracle Spatial Developer's Guide.) This value should be consistent with the tolerance values of the geometries in the link table and node table for the network.
Usage Notes
This function computes and returns the SDO_GEOMETRY object for the specified path.
This function and the SDO_NET_MEM.PATH.COMPUTE_GEOMETRY procedure (documented in Chapter 6) both compute a path geometry, but they have the following differences:
The SDO_NET.COMPUTE_PATH_GEOMETRY function computes the path from the links in the database, and does not use a network memory object. It returns the path geometry.
The SDO_NET_MEM.PATH.COMPUTE_GEOMETRY procedure computes the path using a network memory object that has been loaded. It does not return the path geometry; you must use the SDO_NET_MEM.PATH.GET_GEOMETRY function to get the geometry.
Examples
The following example computes and returns the spatial geometry of the path with path ID 1 in the network named SDO_NET1, using a tolerance value of 0.005. The returned path geometry is a straight line from (1,1) to (15,1) because this path consists of a single link.
SELECT SDO_NET.COMPUTE_PATH_GEOMETRY('SDO_NET1', 1, 0.005) FROM DUAL;

Format
SDO_NET.COPY_NETWORK(
source_network IN VARCHAR2,
target_network IN VARCHAR2);
Description
Creates a copy of a network, including its metadata tables.
Parameters
Name of the network to be copied.
Name of the network to be created as a copy of source_network.
Usage Notes
This procedure creates an entry in the xxx_SDO_NETWORK_METADATA views (described in Section 5.10.1) for target_network that has the same information as for source_network, except for the new network name.
This procedure also creates a new node table, link table, and path table (if a path table exists for source_network) for target_network based on the metadata and data in these tables for source_network. These tables have names in the form <target-network>_NODE$, <target-network>_LINK$, and <target-network>_PATH$. For example, if target_network has the value ROADS_NETWORK2 and if source_network has a path table, the names of the created metadata tables are ROADS_NETWORK2_NODE$, ROADS_NETWORK2_LINK$, and ROADS_NETWORK2_PATH$.
Examples
The following example creates a new network named ROADS_NETWORK2 that is a copy of the network named ROADS_NETWORK.
EXECUTE SDO_NET.COPY_NETWORK('ROADS_NETWORK', 'ROADS_NETWORK2');
Format
SDO_NET.CREATE_LINK_TABLE(
table_name IN VARCHAR2,
geom_type IN VARCHAR2,
geom_column IN VARCHAR2,
cost_column IN VARCHAR2,
no_of_hierarchy_levels IN NUMBER);
Description
Creates a link table for a network.
Parameters
Name of the link table.
For a spatial network, specify a value indicating the geometry type of links: SDO_GEOMETRY for non-LRS SDO_GEOMETRY objects, LRS_GEOMETRY for LRS SDO_GEOMETRY objects, or TOPO_GEOMETRY for SDO_TOPO_GEOMETRY objects.
For a spatial network, the name of the column containing the geometry objects associated with the links.
Name of the column containing the cost values to be associated with the links.
Number of hierarchy levels for links in the network. (For an explanation of network hierarchy, see Section 5.5.)
Usage Notes
The link table is described in Section 5.9.2.
Examples
The following example creates a link table named ROADS_LINKS, with a geometry column named LINK_GEOMETRY that will contain LRS geometries, a cost column named COST, and a single hierarchy level.
EXECUTE SDO_NET.CREATE_LINK_TABLE('ROADS_LINKS', 'LRS_GEOMETRY', 'LINK_GEOMETRY', 'COST', 1);

Description
Creates a logical network, creates all necessary tables, and updates the network metadata.
Parameters
Network name.
Number of hierarchy levels for links in the network. (For an explanation of network hierarchy, see Section 5.5.)
A Boolean value. TRUE indicates that the links are directed; FALSE indicates that the links are undirected (not directed).
A Boolean value. TRUE causes a column named COST to be included in the <network-name>_NODE$ table; FALSE (the default) causes a column named COST not to be included in the <network-name>_NODE$ table.
Name of the node table to be created. (The node table is explained in Section 5.9.1.) If you use the format that does not specify this parameter, a node table named <network-name>_NODE$ is created.
Name of the cost column in the node table. (The node table is explained in Section 5.9.1.) If you use the format that does not specify this parameter, the geometry column is named COST.
Name of the link table to be created. (The link table is explained in Section 5.9.2.) If you use the format that does not specify this parameter, a link table named <network-name>_LINK$ is created.
Name of the cost column in the link table. (The link table is explained in Section 5.9.2.) If you use the format that does not specify this parameter, the geometry column is named COST.
Name of the path table to be created. (The path table is explained in Section 5.9.3.) If you use the format that does not specify this parameter, a path table named <network-name>_PATH$ is created.
Name of the path-link table to be created. (The path-link table is explained in Section 5.9.4.) If you use the format that does not specify this parameter, a path-link table named <network-name>_PLINK$ is created.
Usage Notes
This procedure provides a convenient way to create a logical network when the node, link, and optional related tables do not already exist. The procedure creates the network; creates the node, link, path, and path-link tables for the network; and inserts the appropriate information in the xxx_SDO_NETWORK_METADATA views (described in Section 5.10.1).
An exception is generated if any of the tables to be created already exists.
The procedure has two formats. The simpler format creates the tables using default values for the table name and the cost column name. The other format lets you specify names for the tables and the cost column.
As an alternative to using this procedure, you can create the network using the SDO_NET.CREATE_LOGICAL_NETWORK procedure; create the tables using the SDO_NET.CREATE_NODE_TABLE, SDO_NET.CREATE_LINK_TABLE, SDO_NET.CREATE_PATH_TABLE, and SDO_NET.CREATE_PATH_LINK_TABLE procedures; and insert the appropriate row in the USER_SDO_NETWORK_METADATA view.
Examples
The following example creates a directed logical network named LOG_NET1. The example creates the LOG_NET1_NODE$, LOG_NET1_LINK$,LOG_NET1_PATH$, and LOG_NET1_PLINK$ tables, and updates the xxx_SDO_NETWORK_METADATA views. Both the node and link tables contain a cost column named COST.

Name of the link table to be created. (The link table is explained in Section 5.9.2.) If you use the format that does not specify this parameter, a link table named <network-name>_LINK$ is created.
Name of the cost column in the link table. (The link table is explained in Section 5.9.2.) If you use the format that does not specify this parameter, the geometry column is named COST.
Name of the path table to be created. (The path table is explained in Section 5.9.3.) If you use the format that does not specify this parameter, a path table named <network-name>_PATH$ is created.
Name of the geometry column in the path table. (The path table is explained in Section 5.9.3.) If you use the format that does not specify this parameter, the geometry column is named GEOMETRY.

Usage Notes
This procedure provides a convenient way to create a spatial network of LRS geometries when the node, link, and optional related tables do not already exist. The procedure creates the network; creates the node, link, path, and path-link tables for the network; and inserts the appropriate information in the xxx_SDO_NETWORK_METADATA views (described in Section 5.10.1).
An exception is generated if any of the tables to be created already exists.
The procedure has two formats. The simpler format creates the tables using default values for the table name and the geometry and cost column names. The other format lets you specify names for the tables and the geometry and cost columns.
As an alternative to using this procedure, you can create the network using the SDO_NET.CREATE_LRS_NETWORK procedure; create the tables using the SDO_NET.CREATE_NODE_TABLE, SDO_NET.CREATE_LINK_TABLE, SDO_NET.CREATE_PATH_TABLE, and SDO_NET.CREATE_PATH_LINK_TABLE procedures; and insert the appropriate row in the USER_SDO_NETWORK_METADATA view.
Examples
The following example creates a directed spatial network named LRS_NET1. The LRS geometries are in the column named LRS_GEOM in the table named LRS_TAB. The example creates the LRS_NET1_NODE$, LRS_NET1_LINK$, LRS_NET1_PATH$, and LRS_NET1_PLINK$ tables, and updates the xxx_SDO_NETWORK_METADATA views. All geometry columns are named GEOMETRY. Both the node and link tables contain a cost column named COST.
EXECUTE SDO_NET.CREATE_LRS_NETWORK('LRS_NET1', 'LRS_TAB', 'LRS_GEOM', 1, TRUE, TRUE);
Format
SDO_NET.CREATE_LRS_TABLE(
table_name IN VARCHAR2,
geom_column IN VARCHAR2);
Description
Creates a table for storing Oracle Spatial linear referencing system (LRS) geometries.
Parameters
Name of the table containing the geometry column specified in geom_column.
Name of the column (of type SDO_GEOMETRY) to contain geometry objects.
Usage Notes
This procedure creates a table named table_name with two columns: GEOM_ID of type NUMBER and geom_column of type SDO_GEOMETRY.
Although the created table does not need to be used to store LRS geometries, the procedure is intended as a convenient method for creating a table to store such geometries. You will probably want to modify the table to add other columns before you store data in the table.
Examples
The following example creates a table named HIGHWAYS with a geometry column named GEOM.
EXECUTE SDO_NET.CREATE_LRS_TABLE('HIGHWAYS', 'GEOM');

Usage Notes
This procedure provides a convenient way to create a spatial network when the node, link, and optional related tables do not already exist. The procedure creates the network; creates the node, link, path, and path-link tables for the network; and inserts the appropriate information in the xxx_SDO_NETWORK_METADATA views (described in Section 5.10.1). The node and link tables contain a topology geometry column named TOPO_GEOMETRY of type SDO_TOPO_GEOMETRY.
An exception is generated if any of the tables to be created already exists.
The procedure has two formats. The simpler format creates the tables using default values for the table name and the geometry and cost column names. The other format lets you specify names for the tables and the geometry and cost columns.
As an alternative to using this procedure, you can create the network using the SDO_NET.CREATE_TOPO_NETWORK procedure; create the tables using the SDO_NET.CREATE_NODE_TABLE, SDO_NET.CREATE_LINK_TABLE, SDO_NET.CREATE_PATH_TABLE, and SDO_NET.CREATE_PATH_LINK_TABLE procedures; and insert the appropriate row in the USER_SDO_NETWORK_METADATA view.
Examples
The following example creates a directed spatial topology geometry network named TOPO_NET1. The example creates the TOPO_NET1_NODE$, TOPO_NET1_LINK$, TOPO_NET1_PATH$, and TOPO_NET1_PLINK$ tables, and updates the xxx_SDO_NETWORK_METADATA views. The topology geometry columns are named TOPO_GEOMETRY. Both the node and link tables contain a cost column named COST.
EXECUTE SDO_NET.CREATE_TOPO_NETWORK('TOPO_NET1', 1, TRUE, TRUE);
Format
SDO_NET.DELETE_LINK(
network IN VARCHAR2,
link_id IN NUMBER);
Description
Deletes a link and all dependent network elements.
Parameters
Network name.
ID of the link to delete.
Usage Notes
This procedure deletes the specified link from the link table (described in Section 5.9.2), and it deletes any other network elements that depend on this link. For example, if the specified link is included in any paths and subpaths, those paths and subpaths are deleted also.
Examples
The following example deletes the link in the SDO_NET2 network whose link ID is 1.
SELECT SDO_NET.DELETE_LINK('SDO_NET2', 1);
Format
SDO_NET.DELETE_NODE(
network IN VARCHAR2,
node_id IN NUMBER);
Description
Deletes a node and all dependent network elements.
Parameters
Network name.
ID of the node to delete.
Usage Notes
This procedure deletes the specified node from the node table (described in Section 5.9.1), and it deletes any other network elements that depend on this node. For example, if the specified node is included in any link definitions, those links are deleted; and if any of the deleted links are included in any paths and subpaths, those paths and subpaths are deleted also.
Examples
The following example deletes the node in the SDO_NET2 network whose node ID is 1.
SELECT SDO_NET.DELETE_NODE('SDO_NET2', 1);
Format
SDO_NET.DELETE_PATH(
network IN VARCHAR2,
path_id IN NUMBER);
Description
Deletes a path and all dependent network elements.
Parameters
Network name.
ID of the path to delete.
Usage Notes
This procedure deletes the specified path from the path table (described in Section 5.9.3), and it deletes any other network elements that depend on this link. For example, if the specified path has any subpaths, those subpaths are deleted also.
Examples
The following example deletes the path in the SDO_NET2 network whose path ID is 1.
SELECT SDO_NET.DELETE_PATH('SDO_NET2', 1);
Format
SDO_NET.DELETE_SUBPATH(
network IN VARCHAR2,
path_id IN NUMBER);
Description
Deletes a subpath.
Parameters
Network name.
ID of the path to delete.
Usage Notes
This procedure deletes the specified subpath from the path table (described in Section 5.9.3). It does not delete any other network elements, because no other elements depend on a subpath definition.
Examples
The following example deletes the subpath in the SDO_NET2 network whose subpath ID is 17.
SELECT SDO_NET.DELETE_SUBPATH('SDO_NET2', 17);
Format
SDO_NET.DEREGISTER_CONSTRAINT(
constraint_name IN VARCHAR2);
Description
Unloads (removes) the class for the specified network constraint from the Java repository in the database, and deletes the row for that constraint from the USER_SDO_NETWORK_CONSTRAINTS view (described in Section 5.10.2).
Parameters
Name of the network constraint. Must match a value in the CONSTRAINT column of the USER_SDO_NETWORK_CONSTRAINTS view.
Usage Notes
Use this procedure if you want to disable a network constraint that you had previously enabled, such as by using the SDO_NET.REGISTER_CONSTRAINTprocedure. For more information about network constraints, see Section 5.6.
This procedure is analogous to using the deregisterConstraint method of the NetworkManager class of the client-side Java API (described in Section 5.11.2).
Examples
The following example deregisters (disables) a network constraint named GivenProhibitedTurn.
EXECUTE SDO_NET.DEREGISTER_CONSTRAINT('GivenProhibitedTurn');
Format
SDO_NET.DROP_NETWORK(
network IN VARCHAR2);
Description
Drops (deletes) a network.
Parameters
Name of the network to be dropped.
Usage Notes
This procedure also deletes the node, link, and path tables associated with the network, and the network metadata for the network.
Examples
The following example drops the network named ROADS_NETWORK.
EXECUTE SDO_NET.DROP_NETWORK('ROADS_NETWORK');
Format
SDO_NET.FIND_CONNECTED_COMPONENTS(
network IN VARCHAR2,
link_level IN NUMBER,
component_table_name IN VARCHAR2,
log_loc IN VARCHAR2,
log_file IN VARCHAR2,
open_mode IN VARCHAR2);
Description
Finds all connected components for a specified link level in a network, and stores the information in the connected component table.
Parameters
Network name.
Link level for which to find connected components. Link level reflects the priority level for the link, and is used for network analysis, so that links with higher priority levels can be considered first in computing a path.
Name of the connected component table, which is created by this procedure. (If an existing table with the specified name already exists, it is replaced by a new table.) The connected component table is described in Section 5.9.8.
Directory object that identifies the path for the log file. To create a directory object, use the SQL*Plus command CREATE DIRECTORY.
Log file containing information about Spatial network operations, including any possible errors or problems.
A one-character code indicating the mode in which to open the log file: W for write over (that is, delete any existing log file at the specified location and name, and create a new file), or A for append (that is, append information to the existing specified log file). If you specify A and the log file does not exist, a new log file is created.
Usage Notes
This procedure finds, for each node in the specified network, information about all other nodes that are reachable from that node, and it stores the information in the specified connected component table. Having this information in the table enables better performance for many network analysis operations.
Examples
The following example finds the connected components for link level 1 in the SDO_PARTITIONED network, and creates or updates the SDO_PARTITIONED_CONN_COMP_TAB table. Information about the operation is added (open_mode => 'a') to the sdo_partitioned.log file, located in the location associated with the directory object named LOG_DIR.
EXECUTE SDO_NET.FIND_CONNECTED_COMPONENTS(- network => 'SDO_PARTITIONED', - link_level => 1,- component_table_name => 'sdo_partitioned_conn_comp_tab',- log_loc => 'LOG_DIR', log_file=> 'sdo_partitioned.log',- open_mode => 'a');
Format

network IN VARCHAR2,
link_level IN NUMBER,
partition_id IN VARCHAR2,
include_user_data IN BOOLEAN,
log_loc IN VARCHAR2,
log_file IN VARCHAR2,
open_mode IN VARCHAR2);
Description
Generates a single binary large object (BLOB) representation for a specified partition associated with a specified link level in the network, and stores the information in the existing partition BLOB table.
Parameters
Network name.
Link level for links to be included in the BLOB.
Partition ID number. Network elements associated with the specified combination of link level and partition ID are included in the generated BLOB.
TRUE if the BLOB should include any user data associated with the network elements represented in each BLOB, or FALSE if the BLOB should not include any user data.
Directory object that identifies the path for the log file. To create a directory object, use the SQL*Plus command CREATE DIRECTORY.
Log file containing information about Spatial network operations, including any possible errors or problems.
A one-character code indicating the mode in which to open the log file: W for write over (that is, delete any existing log file at the specified location and name, and create a new file), or A for append (that is, append information to the existing specified log file). If you specify A and the log file does not exist, a new log file is created.
Usage Notes
This procedure adds a single new BLOB or replaces a single existing BLOB in the partition BLOB table, which must have been previously created using the SDO_NET.GENERATE_PARTITION_BLOBS procedure.
One use for this procedure is to perform a relatively quick update of the BLOB for a desired partition in a network that contains multiple large partitions, as opposed to than updating the BLOBs for all partitions using the SDO_NET.GENERATE_PARTITION_BLOBS procedure.
Examples
The following example generates the partition BLOB for the partition associated with partition ID 1 and link level 1 in the SDO_PARTITIONED network, and adds or replaces the appropriate BLOB in the SDO_PARTITIONED_PART_BLOB_TAB table. Any user data associated with the network elements is also included. Information about the operation is added (open_mode => 'a') to the sdo_partitioned.log file, located in the location associated with the directory object named LOG_DIR.
EXECUTE SDO_NET.GENERATE_PARTITION_BLOB(- network => 'SDO_PARTITIONED', - link_level => 1,- partition_id => 1,- include_user_data => true,- log_loc => 'LOG_DIR', log_file=> 'sdo_partitioned.log',- open_mode => 'a');
Format
SDO_NET.GENERATE_PARTITION_BLOBS(
network IN VARCHAR2,
link_level IN NUMBER,
partition_blob_table_name IN VARCHAR2,
include_user_data IN BOOLEAN,
log_loc IN VARCHAR2,
log_file IN VARCHAR2,
open_mode IN VARCHAR2);
Description
Generates a binary large object (BLOB) representation for partitions associated with a specified link level in the network, and stores the information in the partition BLOB table.
Parameters
Network name.
Link level for links to be included in each BLOB. Link level reflects the priority level for the link, and is used for network analysis, so that links with higher priority levels can be considered first in computing a path.
Name of the partition BLOB table, which is created by this procedure. (If an existing table with the specified name already exists, it is replaced by a new table.) The partition BLOB table is described in Section 5.9.7.
TRUE if each BLOB should include any user data associated with the network elements represented in each BLOB, or FALSE if each BLOB should not include any user data.
Directory object that identifies the path for the log file. To create a directory object, use the SQL*Plus command CREATE DIRECTORY.
Log file containing information about Spatial network operations, including any possible errors or problems.
A one-character code indicating the mode in which to open the log file: W for write over (that is, delete any existing log file at the specified location and name, and create a new file), or A for append (that is, append information to the existing specified log file). If you specify A and the log file does not exist, a new log file is created.
Usage Notes
Generating partition BLOBs enables better performance for many network analysis operations, especially with large networks.
If the network is not partitioned, this procedure generates a single BLOB representing the entire network.
Do not confuse this procedure with SDO_NET.GENERATE_PARTITION_BLOB, which regenerates a single BLOB for a specified combination of link level and partition ID, and adds that information to the existing partition BLOB table.
Examples
The following example generates partition BLOBs for link level 1 in the SDO_PARTITIONED network, and creates or updates the SDO_PARTITIONED_PART_BLOB_TAB table. Any user data associated with the network elements is also included. Information about the operation is added (open_mode => 'a') to the sdo_partitioned.log file, located in the location associated with the directory object named LOG_DIR.
EXECUTE SDO_NET.GENERATE_PARTITION_BLOBS(- network => 'SDO_PARTITIONED', - link_level => 1,- partition_blob_table_name => 'sdo_partitioned_part_blob_tab',- include_user_data => true,- log_loc => 'LOG_DIR', log_file=> 'sdo_partitioned.log',- open_mode => 'a');

description IN VARCHAR2);
Description
Loads the compiled Java code for the specified network constraint into the Java class repository in the database, and loads the class name into the CLASS column of the USER_SDO_NETWORK_CONSTRAINTS view (described in Section 5.10.2).
Parameters
Name of the network constraint.
Fully qualified name (including the name of the package) of the class that implements the network constraint.
Name of the directory object (created using the SQL statement CREATE DIRECTORY) that identifies the location of the class file created when you compiled the network constraint.
Description of the network constraint.
Usage Notes
Before you call this procedure, you must insert a row into the USER_SDO_NETWORK_CONSTRAINTS view, compile the code for the Java class that implements the network constraint, and use the CREATE DIRECTORY statement to create a directory object identifying the location of the compiled class. For more information about network constraints, see Section 5.6.
To delete the row for the constraint from the USER_SDO_NETWORK_CONSTRAINTS view and thus disable the constraint, use the SDO_NET.DEREGISTER_CONSTRAINT procedure.
This procedure is analogous to using the registerConstraint method of the NetworkManager class of the client-side Java API (described in Section 5.11.2).
Examples
The following example registers a network constraint named GivenProhibitedTurn.
-- Set up the network constraint.
REM
REM Create the geor_dir on the file system first.
REM
-- Connect as SYSTEM.
DECLARE
-- This is the directory that contains the CLASS file generated when you
-- compiled the network constraint.

Parameters
Network name.
Usage Notes
A network contains SDO geometries if the GEOMETRY_TYPE column in its entry in the USER_SDO_NETWORK_METADATA view contains the value SDO_GEOMETRY. (The USER_SDO_NETWORK_METADATA view is explained in Section 5.10.1.)
Examples
The following example checks if the network named ROADS_NETWORK is a spatial network containing SDO geometries.
SELECT SDO_NET.SDO_GEOMETRY_NETWORK('ROADS_NETWORK') FROM DUAL;
SDO_NET.SDO_GEOMETRY_NETWORK('ROADS_NETWORK')
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FALSE
Format
SDO_NET.SET_LOGGING_LEVEL(
level IN NUMBER);
Description
Sets the minimum level of severity for messages to be displayed for network operations.
Parameters
Minimum severity level for messages to be displayed for network operations. Must be one of the numeric constants specified in the Usage Notes.
Usage Notes
All messages at the specified logging level and higher levels will be written. The logging levels, from highest to lowest, are:
SDO_NET.LOGGING_LEVEL_FATAL SDO_NET.LOGGING_LEVEL_ERROR SDO_NET.LOGGING_LEVEL_WARN SDO_NET.LOGGING_LEVEL_INFO SDO_NET.LOGGING_LEVEL_DEBUG SDO_NET.LOGGING_LEVEL_FINEST
The logging level is the Java logging level from the underlying implementation of this function; therefore, to see the Java logging output on the console, execute the following statements beforehand:
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON; EXECUTE DBMS_JAVA.SET_OUTPUT(10000);
Examples
The following example sets the logging level at SDO_NET.LOGGING_LEVEL_ERROR, which means that only messages with a severity of SDO_NET.LOGGING_LEVEL_ERROR or SDO_NET.LOGGING_LEVEL_FATAL will be displayed.
EXECUTE SDO_NET.SET_LOGGING_LEVEL(SDO_NET.LOGGING_LEVEL_ERROR);
Format
SDO_NET.SET_MAX_JAVA_HEAP_SIZE(
bytes IN NUMBER);
Description

Usage Notes
If you encounter the java.lang.OutOfMemoryError exception, you can use this procedure to increase the maximum heap size.
If you specify a value greater than the system limit, the system limit is used.
Examples
The following example sets the Java maximum heap size to 536870912 (512 MB).
EXECUTE SDO_NET.SET_MAX_JAVA_HEAP_SIZE(536870912);
Format
SDO_NET.SPATIAL_PARTITION(
network IN VARCHAR2,
partition_table_name IN VARCHAR2,
max_num_nodes IN NUMBER,
log_loc IN VARCHAR2,
log_file IN VARCHAR2,
open_mode IN VARCHAR2,
link_level IN NUMBER);
Description
Partitions a spatial network, and stores the information in the partition table.
Parameters
Network name.
Network link level on which to perform the partitioning. Link level reflects the priority level for the link, and is used for network analysis, so that links with higher priority levels can be considered first in computing a path.
Name of the partition table, which is created by this procedure. (If an existing table with the specified name already exists, it is replaced by a new table.) The partition table is described in Section 5.9.6.
Maximum number of nodes to include in each partition. For example, if you specify 5000 and if the network contains 50,000 nodes, each partition will have 5000 or fewer nodes, and the total number of partitions will be 10 or higher.
Directory object that identifies the path for the log file. To create a directory object, use the SQL*Plus command CREATE DIRECTORY.
Log file containing information about Spatial network operations, including any possible errors or problems.
A one-character code indicating the mode in which to open the log file: W for write over (that is, delete any existing log file at the specified location and name, and create a new file), or A for append (that is, append information to the existing specified log file). If you specify A and the log file does not exist, a new log file is created.
Usage Notes
After you use this procedure to create the partitions, consider using the SDO_NET.GENERATE_PARTITION_BLOBS procedure, to enable better performance for many network analysis operations, especially with large networks.
Examples
The following example creates partitions for link level 1 in the MY_PARTITIONED_NET network, and creates the MY_PARTITIONED_NET_TAB table. The maximum number of nodes to be placed in any partition is 5000. Information about the operation is added (open_mode => 'a') to the sdo_partitioned.log file, located in the location associated with the directory object named LOG_DIR.
EXECUTE SDO_NET.SPATIAL_PARTITION(network => 'MY_PARTITIONED_NET', - partition_table_name => 'my_partitioned_net_tab',- max_num_nodes => 5000,- log_loc => 'LOG_DIR', log_file=> 'my_partitioned_net.log',- link_level => 1, open_mode => 'w');
Format

Format
SDO_NET.VALIDATE_NETWORK(
network IN VARCHAR2,
check_data IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT 'FALSE'
) RETURN VARCHAR2;
Description
Returns the string TRUE if the network is valid; returns the string FALSE if the network is not valid.
Parameters
Network name.
TRUE performs additional checks on the referential integrity of network data; FALSE (the default) performs basic checks, but not additional checks, on the referential integrity of network data.
Usage Notes
This function checks the metadata for the network and any applicable network schema structures (link, node, path, subpath, LRS). It performs basic referential integrity checks on the network data, and it optionally performs additional checks. If any errors are found, the function returns the string FALSE.
The checks performed by this function include the following:
The network exists.
The node and link tables for the network exist, and they contain the required columns.
The start and end nodes of each link exist in the node table.
For an LRS geometry network, the LRS table exists and contains the required columns.
For a spatial network, columns for the node and path geometries exist and have spatial indexes defined on them.
If check_data is TRUE, additional referential integrity checking on the network data is performed. This will take longer, especially if the network is large.
