This chapter describes in greater detail the Oracle Spatial coordinate system support, which was introduced in Section 1.5.4. You can store and manipulate SDO_GEOMETRY objects in a variety of coordinate systems.
For reference information about coordinate system transformation functions and procedures in the MDSYS.SDO_CS package, see Chapter 13.
This chapter contains the following major sections:
Section 6.8, "Creating a User-Defined Coordinate Reference System"
Section 6.9, "Notes and Restrictions with Coordinate Systems Support"
This section explains important terms and concepts related to coordinate system support in Oracle Spatial.
A coordinate system (also called a spatial reference system) is a means of assigning coordinates to a location and establishing relationships between sets of such coordinates. It enables the interpretation of a set of coordinates as a representation of a position in a real world space.
The term coordinate reference system has the same meaning as coordinate system for Spatial, and the terms are used interchangeably. European Petroleum Survey Group (EPSG) specifications and documentation typically use the term coordinate reference system. (EPSG has its own meaning for the term coordinate system, as noted in Section 6.6.11.)
Cartesian coordinates are coordinates that measure the position of a point from a defined origin along axes that are perpendicular in the represented two-dimensional or three-dimensional space.
Geodetic coordinates (sometimes called geographic coordinates) are angular coordinates (longitude and latitude), closely related to spherical polar coordinates, and are defined relative to a particular Earth geodetic datum (described in Section 6.1.6). For more information about geodetic coordinate support, see Section 6.2.
Projected coordinates are planar Cartesian coordinates that result from performing a mathematical mapping from a point on the Earth's surface to a plane. There are many such mathematical mappings, each used for a particular purpose.
Local coordinates are Cartesian coordinates in a non-Earth (non-georeferenced) coordinate system. Section 6.3 describes local coordinate support in Spatial.
A geodetic datum (or datum) is a means of shifting and rotating an ellipsoid to represent the figure of the Earth, usually as an oblate spheroid, that approximates the surface of the Earth locally or globally, and is the reference for the system of geodetic coordinates.
Each geodetic coordinate system is based on a datum.
Transformation is the conversion of coordinates from one coordinate system to another coordinate system.
If the coordinate system is georeferenced, transformation can involve datum transformation: the conversion of geodetic coordinates from one geodetic datum to another geodetic datum, usually involving changes in the shape, orientation, and center position of the reference ellipsoid.
Effective with Oracle9i, Spatial provides a rational and complete treatment of geodetic coordinates. Before Oracle9i, Spatial computations were based solely on flat (Cartesian) coordinates, regardless of the coordinate system specified for the layer of geometries. Consequently, computations for data in geodetic coordinate systems were inaccurate, because they always treated the coordinates as if they were on a flat surface, and they did not consider the curvature of the surface.
Effective with release 9.2, ellipsoidal surface computations consider the curvatures of the Earth in the specified geodetic coordinate system and return correct, accurate results. In other words, Spatial queries return the right answers all the time.
A two-dimensional geometry is a surface geometry, but the important question is: What is the surface? A flat surface (plane) is accurately represented by Cartesian coordinates. However, Cartesian coordinates are not adequate for representing the surface of a solid. A commonly used surface for spatial geometry is the surface of the Earth, and the laws of geometry there are different than they are in a plane. For example, on the Earth's surface there are no parallel lines: lines are geodesics, and all geodesics intersect. Thus, closed curved surface problems cannot be done accurately with Cartesian geometry.
Spatial provides accurate results regardless of the coordinate system or the size of the area involved, without requiring that the data be projected to a flat surface. The results are accurate regardless of where on the Earth's surface the query is focused, even in "special" areas such as the poles. Thus, you can store coordinates in any datum and projections that you choose, and you can perform accurate queries regardless of the coordinate system.
For applications that deal with the Earth's surface, the data can be represented using a geodetic coordinate system or a projected plane coordinate system. In deciding which approach to take with the data, consider any needs related to accuracy and performance:
Accuracy
For many spatial applications, the area is sufficiently small to allow adequate computations on Cartesian coordinates in a local projection. For example, the New Hampshire State Plane local projection provides adequate accuracy for most spatial applications that use data for that state.
However, Cartesian computations on a plane projection will never give accurate results for a large area such as Canada or Scandinavia. For example, a query asking if Stockholm, Sweden and Helsinki, Finland are within a specified distance may return an incorrect result if the specified distance is close to the actual measured distance. Computations involving large areas or requiring very precise accuracy must account for the curvature of the Earth's surface.
Performance
Spherical computations use more computing resources than Cartesian computations. Some operations using geodetic coordinates may take longer to complete than the same operations using Cartesian coordinates.
To create a query window for certain operations on geodetic data, use an MBR (minimum bounding rectangle) by specifying an SDO_ETYPE value of 1003 or 2003 and an SDO_INTERPRETATION value of 3, as described in Table 2-2 in Section 2.2.4. A geodetic MBR can be used with the following operators: SDO_FILTER, SDO_RELATE with the ANYINTERACT mask, SDO_ANYINTERACT, and SDO_WITHIN_DISTANCE.
Example 6-1 requests the names of all cola markets that are likely to interact spatially with a geodetic MBR.
Example 6-1 Using a Geodetic MBR
SELECT c.name FROM cola_markets_cs c WHERE
SDO_FILTER(c.shape,
SDO_GEOMETRY(
2003,
8307, -- SRID for WGS 84 longitude/latitude
NULL,
SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1,1003,3),
SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(6,5, 10,10))
) = 'TRUE';
Example 6-1 produces the following output (assuming the data as defined in Example 6-7 in Section 6.11):
NAME -------------------------------- cola_c cola_b cola_d
The following considerations apply to the use of geodetic MBRs:
Do not use a geodetic MBR with spatial objects stored in the database. Use it only to construct a query window.
The lower-left Y coordinate (minY) must be less than the upper-right Y coordinate (maxY). If the lower-left X coordinate (minX) is greater than the upper-right X coordinate (maxX), the window is assumed to cross the date line meridian (that is, the meridian "opposite" the prime meridian, or both 180 and -180 longitude). For example, an MBR of (-10,10, -100, 20) with longitude/latitude data goes three-fourths of the way around the Earth (crossing the date line meridian), and goes from latitude lines 10 to 20.
When Spatial constructs the MBR internally for the query, lines along latitude lines are densified by adding points at one-degree intervals. This might affect results for objects within a few meters of the edge of the MBR (especially objects in the middle latitudes in both hemispheres).
The following additional examples show special or unusual cases, to illustrate how a geodetic MBR is interpreted with longitude/latitude data:
(10,0, -110,20) crosses the date line meridian and goes most of the way around the world, and goes from the equator to latitude 20.
(10,-90, 40,90) is a band from the South Pole to the North Pole between longitudes 10 and 40.
(10,-90, 40,50) is a band from the South Pole to latitude 50 between longitudes 10 and 40.
(-180,-10, 180,5) is a band that wraps the equator from 10 degrees south to 5 degrees north.
(-180,-90, 180,90) is the whole Earth.
(-180,-90, 180,50) is the whole Earth below latitude 50.
(-180,50, 180,90) is the whole Earth above latitude 50.
The following geometries are not permitted if a geodetic coordinate system is used:
Circles
Circular arcs
Geodetic coordinate system support is provided only for geometries that consist of points or geodesics (lines on the ellipsoid). If you have geometries containing circles or circular arcs in a projected coordinate system, you can densify them using the SDO_GEOM.SDO_ARC_DENSIFY function (documented in Chapter 15) before transforming them to geodetic coordinates, and then perform Spatial operations on the resulting geometries.
The following size limits apply with geodetic data:
No polygon element can have an area larger than one-half the surface of the Earth.
In a line, the distance between two adjacent coordinates cannot be greater than or equal to one-half the perimeter (a great circle) of the Earth.
If you need to work with larger elements, first break these elements into multiple smaller elements and work with them. For example, you cannot create a geometry representing the entire ocean surface of the Earth; however, you can create multiple geometries, each representing part of the overall ocean surface. To work with a line string that is greater than or equal to one-half the perimeter of the Earth, you can add one or more intermediate points on the line so that all adjacent coordinates are less than one-half the perimeter of the Earth.
To take full advantage of Spatial features, you must index geodetic data layers using a geodetic R-tree index. (You can create a non-geodetic R-tree or quadtree index on geodetic data by specifying 'geodetic=FALSE' in the PARAMETERS clause of the CREATE INDEX statement; however, this is not recommended. See the Usage Notes for the CREATE INDEX statement in Chapter 10 for more information.) In addition, for Spatial release 9.0.1 and later you must delete (DROP INDEX) and re-create all spatial indexes on geodetic data from a release before 9.0.1.
Tolerance is specified as meters for geodetic layers. If you use tolerance values that are typical for non-geodetic data, these values are interpreted as meters for geodetic data. For example, if you specify a tolerance value of 0.05 for geodetic data, this is interpreted as precise to 5 centimeters. If this value is more precise than your applications need, performance may be affected because of the internal computational steps taken to implement the specified precision. (For more information about tolerance, see Section 1.5.5.)
For geodetic layers, you must specify the dimensional extents in the index metadata as -180,180 for longitude and -90,90 for latitude. The following statement (from Example 6-7 in Section 6.11) specifies these extents (with a 10-meter tolerance value in each dimension) for a geodetic data layer:
INSERT INTO user_sdo_geom_metadata
(TABLE_NAME,
COLUMN_NAME,
DIMINFO,
SRID)
VALUES (
'cola_markets_cs',
'shape',
SDO_DIM_ARRAY(
SDO_DIM_ELEMENT('Longitude', -180, 180, 10), -- 10 meters tolerance
SDO_DIM_ELEMENT('Latitude', -90, 90, 10) -- 10 meters tolerance
),
8307 -- SRID for 'Longitude / Latitude (WGS 84)' coordinate system
);
See Section 6.9 for additional notes and restrictions relating to geodetic data.
Spatial provides a level of support for local coordinate systems. Local coordinate systems are often used in CAD systems, and they can also be used in local surveys where the relationship between the surveyed site and the rest of the world is not important.
Several local coordinate systems are predefined and included with Spatial in the SDO_COORD_REF_SYS table (described in Section 6.6.9). These supplied local coordinate systems, whose names start with Non-Earth, define non-Earth Cartesian coordinate systems based on different units of measurement (Meter, Millimeter, Inch, and so on).
In the current release, you cannot perform coordinate system transformation between local and Earth-based coordinate systems; and when transforming a geometry or layer of geometries between local coordinate systems, you can only to convert coordinates in a local coordinate system from one unit of measurement to another (for example, inches to millimeters). However, you can perform all other Spatial operations (for example, using SDO_RELATE, SDO_WITHIN_DISTANCE, and other operators) with local coordinate systems.
Effective with Oracle Database 10g release 2 (10.2), the Oracle Spatial coordinate system support is based on, but is not always identical to, the European Petroleum Survey Group (EPSG) data model and data set (described in detail at http://www.epsg.org). This approach provides the benefits of standardization, expanded support, and flexibility:
The EPSG model is a comprehensive and widely accepted standard for data representation, so users familiar with it can more easily understand Spatial storage and operations.
Support is provided for more coordinate systems and their associated datums, ellipsoids, and projections. For example, some of the EPSG geographic and projected coordinate systems had no counterpart among coordinate systems supported for previous Spatial releases. Their addition results in an expanded set of supported coordinate systems.
Data transformations are more flexible. Instead of there being only one possible Oracle-defined transformation path between a given source and target coordinate system, you can specify alternative paths to be used for a specific area of applicability (that is, use case) or as the systemwide default.
The rest of this section describes this flexibility.
For data transformations (that is, transforming data from one coordinate system to another), you can now control which transformation rules are to be applied. In previous releases, and in the current release by default, Spatial performs transformations based only on the specified source and target coordinate systems, using predetermined intermediate transformation steps. The assumption behind that default approach is that there is a single correct or preferable transformation chain.
By default, then, Spatial applies certain transformation methods for each supported transformation between specific pairs of source and target coordinate systems. For example, there are over 500 supported transformations from specific coordinate systems to the WGS 84 (longitude/latitude) coordinate system, which has the EPSG SRID value of 4326. As one example, for a transformation from SRID 4605 to SRID 4326, Spatial can use the transformation method with the COORD_OP_ID value 1445, as indicated in the SDO_COORD_OPS table (described in Section 6.6.8), which contains one row for each transformation operation between coordinate systems.
However, you can override the default transformation by specifying a different method (from the set of Oracle-supplied methods) for the transformation for any given source and target SRID combination. You can specify a transformation as the new systemwide default, or you can associate the transformation with a named use case that can be specified when transforming a layer of spatial geometries. (A use case is simply a name given to a usage scenario or area of applicability, such as Project XYZ or Mike's Favorite Transformations; there is no relationship between use cases and database users or schemas.)
To specify a transformation as either the systemwide default or associated with a use case, use the SDO_CS.ADD_PREFERENCE_FOR_OP procedure. To remove a previously specified preference, use the SDO_CS.REVOKE_PREFERENCE_FOR_OP procedure.
When it performs a coordinate system transformation, Spatial follows these general steps to determine the specific transformation to use:
If a use case has been specified, the transformation associated with that use case is applied.
If no use case has been specified and if a user-defined systemwide transformation has been created for the specified source and target coordinate system pair, that transformation is applied.
If no use case has been specified and if no user-defined transformation exists for the specified source and target coordinate system pair, the behavior depends on whether or not EPSG rules have been created, such as by the SDO_CS.CREATE_OBVIOUS_EPSG_RULES procedure:
If the EPSG rules have been created and if an EPSG rule is defined for this transformation, the EPSG transformation is applied.
If the EPSG rules have not been created, or if they have been created but no EPSG rule is defined for this transformation, the Oracle Spatial default transformation is applied.
The object type TFM_PLAN is used is by several SDO_CS package subprograms to specify a transformation plan. For example, to create a concatenated operation that consists of two operations specified by a parameter of type TFM_PLAN, use the SDO_CS.CREATE_CONCATENATED_OP procedure.
Oracle Spatial defines the object type TFM_PLAN as:
CREATE TYPE tfm_plan AS OBJECT ( THE_PLAN SDO_TFM_CHAIN);
The SDO_TFM_CHAIN type is defined as VARRAY(1048576) OF NUMBER.
Within the SDO_TFM_CHAIN array:
The first element specifies the SRID of the source coordinate system.
Each pair of elements after the first element specifies an operation ID and the SRID of a target coordinate system.
The coordinate systems functions and procedures use information provided in the tables and views supplied with Oracle Spatial. The tables and views are part of the MDSYS schema; however, public synonyms are defined, so you do not need to specify MDSYS. before the table or view name. The definitions and data in these tables and views are based on the EPSG data model and data set, as explained in Section 6.4.
The coordinate system tables fit into several general categories:
Coordinate system general information: SDO_COORD_SYS, SDO_COORD_REF_SYS
Elements or aspects of a coordinate system definition: SDO_DATUMS, SDO_ELLIPSOIDS, SDO_PRIME_MERIDIANS
Datum transformation support: SDO_COORD_OPS, SDO_COORD_OP_METHODS, SDO_COORD_OP_PARAM_USE, SDO_COORD_OP_PARAM_VALS, SDO_COORD_OP_PARAMS, SDO_COORD_OP_PATHS, SDO_PREFERRED_OPS_SYSTEM, SDO_PREFERRED_OPS_USER
Others related to coordinate system definition: SDO_COORD_AXES, SDO_COORD_AXIS_NAMES, SDO_UNITS_OF_MEASURE
Several views are provided that are identical to or subsets of coordinate system tables:
SDO_COORD_REF_SYSTEM, which contains the same columns as the SDO_COORD_REF_SYS table. Use the SDO_COORD_REF_SYSTEM view instead of the COORD_REF_SYS table for any insert, update, or delete operations.
Subsets of SDO_DATUMS, selected according to the value in the DATUM_TYPE column: SDO_DATUM_ENGINEERING, SDO_DATUM_GEODETIC, SDO_DATUM_VERTICAL.
Subsets of SDO_COORD_REF_SYS, selected according to the value in the COORD_REF_SYS_KIND column: SDO_CRS_COMPOUND, SDO_CRS_ENGINEERING, SDO_CRS_GEOCENTRIC, SDO_CRS_GEOGRAPHIC2D, SDO_CRS_GEOGRAPHIC3D, SDO_CRS_PROJECTED, SDO_CRS_VERTICAL.
The rest of this section explains these tables and views, in alphabetical order. (Many column descriptions are adapted or taken from EPSG descriptions.)
In addition to the tables and views in this section, Spatial provides several legacy tables whose definitions and data match those of certain Spatial system tables used in previous releases. Section 6.7 describes the legacy tables.
Note:
You should not modify or delete any Oracle-supplied information in any of the tables or views that are used for coordinate system support.If you want to create a user-defined coordinate system, see Section 6.8.

The SDO_COORD_REF_SYSTEM view contains the same columns as the SDO_COORD_REF_SYS table, which is described in Section 6.6.9. However, the SDO_COORD_REF_SYSTEM view has a trigger defined on it, so that any insert, update, or delete operations performed on the view cause all relevant Spatial system tables to have the appropriate operations performed on them.
Therefore, if you need to perform an insert, update, or delete operation, you must perform it on the SDO_COORD_REF_SYSTEM view, not the SDO_COORD_REF_SYS table.
The SDO_COORD_SYS table contains rows with information about coordinate systems. This table contains the columns shown in Table 6-10. (The SDO_COORD_SYS table is roughly patterned after the EPSG Coordinate System table, where a coordinate system is described as "a pair of reusable axes.")

You should not modify or delete any Oracle-supplied information in these legacy tables.If you refer to a legacy table in a SQL statement, you must include the MDSYS. before the table name.
The MDSYS.CS_SRS reference table contains over 4000 rows, one for each valid coordinate system. This table contains the columns shown in Table 6-27.
Table 6-27 MDSYS.CS_SRS Table
| Column Name | Data Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
CS_NAME |
VARCHAR2(68) |
A well-known name, often mnemonic, by which a user can refer to the coordinate system. |
|
SRID |
NUMBER(38) |
The unique ID number (Spatial Reference ID) for a coordinate system. Currently, SRID values 1-999999 are reserved for use by Oracle Spatial, and values 1000000 (1 million) and higher are available for user-defined coordinate systems. |
|
AUTH_SRID |
NUMBER(38) |
An optional ID number that can be used to indicate how the entry was derived; it might be a foreign key into another coordinate table, for example. |
|
AUTH_NAME |
VARCHAR2(256) |
An authority name for the coordinate system. Contains |
|
WKTEXT |
VARCHAR2(2046) |
The well-known text (WKT) description of the SRS, as defined by the Open Geospatial Consortium. For more information, see Section 6.7.1.1. |
|
CS_BOUNDS |
SDO_GEOMETRY |
An optional SDO_GEOMETRY object that is a polygon with WGS 84 longitude and latitude vertices, representing the spheroidal polygon description of the zone of validity for a projected coordinate system. Must be null for a geographic or non-Earth coordinate system. Is null in all supplied rows. |
The WKTEXT column of the MDSYS.CS_SRS table contains the well-known text (WKT) description of the SRS, as defined by the Open Geospatial Consortium. The following is the WKT EBNF syntax.
<coordinate system> ::=
<horz cs> | <local cs>
<horz cs> ::=
<geographic cs> | <projected cs>

]
<datum type> ::=
<number>
<axis> ::=
AXIS [ "<name>", NORTH | SOUTH | EAST |
WEST | UP | DOWN | OTHER ]
Each <parameter> specification is one of the following:
Standard_Parallel_1 (in decimal degrees)
Standard_Parallel_2 (in decimal degrees)
Central_Meridian (in decimal degrees)
Latitude_of_Origin (in decimal degrees)
Azimuth (in decimal degrees)
False_Easting (in the unit of the coordinate system; for example, meters)
False_Northing (in the unit of the coordinate system; for example, meters)
Perspective_Point_Height (in the unit of the coordinate system; for example, meters)
Landsat_Number (must be 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5)
Path_Number
Scale_Factor
The default value for each <parameter> specification is 0 (zero). That is, if a specification is needed for a projection but no value is specified in the WKT, Spatial uses a value of 0.
The prime meridian (PRIMEM) is specified in decimal degrees of longitude.
An example of the WKT for a geodetic (geographic) coordinate system is:
'GEOGCS [ "Longitude / Latitude (Old Hawaiian)", DATUM ["Old Hawaiian", SPHEROID ["Clarke 1866", 6378206.400000, 294.978698]], PRIMEM [ "Greenwich", 0.000000 ], UNIT ["Decimal Degree", 0.01745329251994330]]'
The WKT definition of the coordinate system is hierarchically nested. The Old Hawaiian geographic coordinate system (GEOGCS) is composed of a named datum (DATUM), a prime meridian (PRIMEM), and a unit definition (UNIT). The datum is in turn composed of a named spheroid and its parameters of semi-major axis and inverse flattening.
An example of the WKT for a projected coordinate system (a Wyoming State Plane) is:
'PROJCS["Wyoming 4901, Eastern Zone (1983, meters)", GEOGCS [ "GRS 80", DATUM ["GRS 80", SPHEROID ["GRS 80", 6378137.000000, 298.257222]], PRIMEM [ "Greenwich", 0.000000 ], UNIT ["Decimal Degree", 0.01745329251994330]], PROJECTION ["Transverse Mercator"], PARAMETER ["Scale_Factor", 0.999938], PARAMETER ["Central_Meridian", -105.166667], PARAMETER ["Latitude_Of_Origin", 40.500000], PARAMETER ["False_Easting", 200000.000000], UNIT ["Meter", 1.000000000000]]'
The projected coordinate system contains a nested geographic coordinate system as its basis, as well as parameters that control the projection.
Oracle Spatial supports all common geodetic datums and map projections.
An example of the WKT for a local coordinate system is:
LOCAL_CS [ "Non-Earth (Meter)", LOCAL_DATUM ["Local Datum", 0], UNIT ["Meter", 1.0], AXIS ["X", EAST], AXIS["Y", NORTH]]
For more information about local coordinate systems, see Section 6.3.
You can use the SDO_CS.VALIDATE_WKT function, described in Chapter 13, to validate the WKT of any coordinate system defined in the MDSYS.CS_SRS table.
If you insert or delete a row in the SDO_COORD_REF_SYSTEM view (described in Section 6.6.10), Spatial automatically updates the WKTEXT column in the MDSYS.CS_SRS table. (The format of the WKTEXT column is described in Section 6.7.1.1.) However, if you update an existing row in the SDO_COORD_REF_SYSTEM view, the well-known text (WKT) value is not automatically updated.
In addition, information relating to coordinate reference systems is also stored in several other system tables, including SDO_DATUMS (described in Section 6.6.22), SDO_ELLIPSOIDS (described in Section 6.6.23), and SDO_PRIME_MERIDIANS (described in Section 6.6.26). If you add, delete, or modify information in these tables, the WKTEXT values in the MDSYS.CS_SRS table are not automatically updated. For example, if you update an ellipsoid flattening value in the SDO_ELLIPSOIDS table, the well-known text string for the associated coordinate system is not updated.
However, you can manually update the WKTEXT values in the in the MDSYS.CS_SRS table by using any of several procedures whose names start with UPDATE_WKTS_FOR (for example, SDO_CS.UPDATE_WKTS_FOR_ALL_EPSG_CRS and SDO_CS.UPDATE_WKTS_FOR_EPSG_DATUM). If the display of SERVEROUTPUT information is enabled, these procedures display a message identifying the SRID value for each row in the MDSYS.CS_SRS table whose WKTEXT value is being updated. These procedures are described in Chapter 13.
The MDSYS.SDO_ANGLE_UNITS reference view contains one row for each valid angle UNIT specification in the well-known text (WKT) description in the coordinate system definition. The WKT is described in Section 6.7.1.1.
The MDSYS.SDO_ANGLE_UNITS view is based on the SDO_UNITS_OF MEASURE table (described in Section 6.6.27), and it contains the columns shown in Table 6-28.

If the coordinate systems supplied by Oracle are not sufficient for your needs, you can create user-defined coordinate reference systems.
Note:
As mentioned in Section 6.1.1, the terms coordinate system and coordinate reference system (CRS) are often used interchangeably, although coordinate reference systems must be Earth-based.The exact steps for creating a user-defined CRS depend on whether it is geodetic or projected. In both cases, supply information about the coordinate system (coordinate axes, axis names, unit of measurement, and so on). For a geodetic CRS, supply information about the datum (ellipsoid, prime meridian, and so on), as explained in Section 6.8.1. For a projected CRS, supply information about the source (geodetic) CRS and the projection (operation and parameters), as explained in Section 6.8.2.
For any user-defined coordinate system, the SRID value should be 1000000 (1 million) or higher.
If the necessary unit of measurement, coordinate axes, SDO_COORD_SYS table row, ellipsoid, prime meridian, and datum are already defined, insert a row into the SDO_COORD_REF_SYSTEM view (described in Section 6.6.10) to define the new geodetic CRS.
Example 6-2 inserts the definition for a hypothetical geodetic CRS named My Own NAD27 (which, except for its SRID and name, is the same as the NAD27 CRS supplied by Oracle).

If the coordinate axes are not already defined in the SDO_COORD_AXES table (described in Section 6.6.1), insert one row into that table for each new coordinate axis.
If an appropriate entry for the coordinate system does not already exist in the SDO_COORD_SYS table (described in Section 6.6.11), insert a row into that table. Example 6-3 inserts the definition for a fictitious coordinate system.

Example 6-6 shows the statement used to insert information about parameters with ID values 8801, 8802, 8805, 8806, and 8807, which are supplied by Oracle.

The following notes and restrictions apply to coordinate systems support in the current release of Oracle Spatial.
If you have geodetic data, see Section 6.2 for additional considerations, guidelines, and restrictions.
For Spatial operators (described in Chapter 11) that take two geometries as input parameters, if the geometries are based on different coordinate systems, the query window (the second geometry) is transformed to the coordinate system of the first geometry before the operation is performed. This transformation is a temporary internal operation performed by Spatial; it does not affect any stored query-window geometry.
For SDO_GEOM package geometry functions (described in Chapter 15) that take two geometries as input parameters, both geometries must be based on the same coordinate system.
In the current release, the 3D formats of LRS functions (explained in Section 7.4) are not supported with geodetic data.
In the current release, the following functions are supported by approximations with geodetic data:
When these functions are used on data with geodetic coordinates, they internally perform the operations in an implicitly generated local-tangent-plane Cartesian coordinate system and then transform the results to the geodetic coordinate system. For SDO_GEOM.SDO_BUFFER, generated arcs are approximated by line segments before the back-transform.
The following coordinate reference systems are provided for Oracle internal use and for other possible special uses:
unknown CRS (SRID 999999) means that the coordinate system is unknown, and its space could be geodetic or Cartesian. Contrast this with specifying a null coordinate reference system, which indicates an unknown coordinate system with a Cartesian space.
NaC (SRID 999998) means Not-a-CRS. Its name is patterned after the NaN (Not-a-Number) value in Java. It is intended for potential use with nonspatial geometries.
The following restrictions apply to geometries based on the unknown CRS and NaC coordinate reference systems:
You cannot perform coordinate system transformations on these geometries.
Operations that require a coordinate system will return a null value when performed on these geometries. These operations include finding the area or perimeter of a geometry, creating a buffer, densifying an arc, and computing the aggregate centroid.
The U.S. National Grid is a point coordinate representation using a single alphanumeric coordinate (for example, 18SUJ2348316806479498). This approach contrasts with the use of numeric coordinates to represent the location of a point, as is done with Oracle Spatial and EPSG. A good description of the U.S. National Grid is available at http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/TOOLS/usng.html.
To support the U.S. National Grid in Spatial, the SDO_GEOMETRY type cannot be used because it is based on numeric coordinates. Instead, a point in U.S. National Grid format is represented as a single string of type VARCHAR2. To allow conversion between the SDO_GEOMETRY format and the U.S. National grid format, the SDO_CS package (documented in Chapter 13) contains the following functions:
This section presents a simplified example that uses coordinate system transformation functions and procedures. It refers to concepts that are explained in this chapter and uses functions documented in Chapter 13.
Example 6-7 uses mostly the same geometry data (cola markets) as in Section 2.1, except that instead of null SDO_SRID values, the SDO_SRID value 8307 is used. That is, the geometries are defined as using the coordinate system whose SRID is 8307 and whose well-known name is "Longitude / Latitude (WGS 84)". This is probably the most widely used coordinate system, and it is the one used for global positioning system (GPS) devices. The geometries are then transformed using the coordinate system whose SRID is 8199 and whose well-known name is "Longitude / Latitude (Arc 1950)".
Example 6-7 uses the geometries illustrated in Figure 2-1 in Section 2.1, except that cola_d is a rectangle (here, a square) instead of a circle, because arcs are not supported with geodetic coordinate systems.
Example 6-7 does the following:
Creates a table (COLA_MARKETS_CS) to hold the spatial data
Inserts rows for four areas of interest (cola_a, cola_b, cola_c, cola_d), using the SDO_SRID value 8307
Updates the USER_SDO_GEOM_METADATA view to reflect the dimension of the areas, using the SDO_SRID value 8307
Creates a spatial index (COLA_SPATIAL_IDX_CS)
Performs some transformation operations (single geometry and entire layer)
Example 6-8 includes the output of the SELECT statements in Example 6-7.
