Locator or Spatial I know? this question, our customers from time to time. And to answer it is, admittedly, not so easy.
why we want to give you some help.
start with, there would be a rough classification of 2D vector data (Locator) and everything else (Spatial), such as 3D vector data, raster data, network data model, topologies, Geocoding, linear reference systems, routing, geo-services (except WMS), etc. What concerns
the 2D vector data, one must then take a closer look at the support of Locator features
. These are described in detail in Table B-1 in
Oracle Spatial Developer's Guide . What is not listed, but instead in Table B-2, Spatial.
Moreover, one can draw even the so-called Feature Usage Statistics help. User-makers with DBA privileges can view these as follows:
select * from where dba_feature_usage_statistics lower (name) like '% locator%' or lower (name) like '%% spatial';
Since 11gR2 are reported Locator and Spatial is special.
