Oracle Spatial Instructor-Led Training, Online Courses & Oracle By Example


Instructor-led and self-paced online Oracle Spatial training courses are available from Oracle University! Free online tutorials are also available in the Oracle By Example series.





Instructor-Led Training



Oracle Spatial: Essentials


The Oracle Spatial: Essentials course is applicable to users running either Oracle 10g or Oracle 11g.

The course extensively covers the concepts and usage of the native data types, functions and operators available in Oracle Spatial for implementing geospatial applications and location-based services.

Using the Oracle Application Server MapViewer, students learn how to render maps and view geospatial data managed by Oracle Spatial or Locator. Students also get introduced to basics of geocoding and routing concepts.

Demonstrations and hands-on practice reinforce the fundamental concepts.



Lab Exercises (for students who have completed Oracle Spatial: Essentials instructor-led class):

Note: The lab document for these lab exercises is distributed only in the Oracle Spatial: Essentials course and is not available online. You must enroll in the course to receive this document.


Oracle Spatial: Advanced


In this course, students learn to use Oracle Spatial GeoRaster, Oracle Spatial's open solution for storing digital imagery and grid data in the database. Students use an open source GeoRaster loader, GDAL, and Oracle's Java GeoRaster loader to load raster images and learn about the Map Builder and MapViewer support for GeoRaster. Also, students learn how Oracle Spatial topology data model stores topology information in the database and how the Oracle Spatial network data model stores network information in the database for graph analysis. Students also learn about Spatial Analysis and Mining and the Oracle Workspace Manager.

Oracle Database 10g: Spatial Topology


This course shows you how to use Oracle Spatial 10g topology data model, which includes data about nodes, edges and faces in a topology. This OLC guides you through the main steps for working with topology data in Oracle Spatial. It refers to important concepts, structures, examples, and operations. For example, the Oracle Spatial topology data model provides an efficient and effective way to store the topological relationship between features in a cadaster. It does so by not repeating common nodes, edges or faces shared by features.



Oracle Database 10g: Oracle Spatial Enhancements


This course teaches the new and enhanced features introduced in Oracle database 10g Spatial. It covers enhancements to features such as Region-Tree, Spatial operators, and transportable tablespaces with Spatial indexes. It also covers new features in Geometry types, spatial utility functions, LRS functions and updates to existing functions. This course also provides you an overview of new features such as GeoRaster, Topology data model, network data model, Geocoding, and Spatial analysis & mining functions.
