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 5.10.1. The rest of this chapter provides reference information about the subprograms, listed in alphabetical order.
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 5.9.1) 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 5.8.2.
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);
Format
SDO_NET.CREATE_LOGICAL_NETWORK(
network IN VARCHAR2,

node_cost_column IN VARCHAR2,
link_table_name IN VARCHAR2,
link_cost_column IN VARCHAR2,
path_table_name IN VARCHAR2,
path_link_table_name IN VARCHAR2);
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 5.8.1.) 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 5.8.1.) 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 5.8.2.) 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 5.8.2.) 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 5.8.3.) 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 5.8.4.) 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 5.9.1).
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.
EXECUTE SDO_NET.CREATE_LOGICAL_NETWORK('LOG_NET1', 1, TRUE, TRUE);

Reserved for future use. Ignored for the current release.
Name of the node table to be created. (The node table is explained in Section 5.8.1.) 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 5.8.1.) 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 5.8.2.) 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 5.8.2.) 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 5.8.3.) 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 5.8.3.) 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 5.9.1).
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');

Parameters
Name of the path-link table.
Usage Notes
The path-link table is described in Section 5.8.4.
To use paths with a network, you must populate the path-link table.
Examples
The following example creates a path-link table named ROADS_PATHS_LINKS.
EXECUTE SDO_NET.CREATE_PATH_LINK_TABLE('ROADS_PATHS_LINKS');
