27 SDO_LRS Package (Linear Referencing System)
The MDSYS.SDO_LRS package contains subprograms that create, modify, query, and convert linear referencing elements.
These subprograms do not change the state of the database. Most LRS subprograms are functions.
To use the subprograms in this chapter, you must understand the linear referencing system (LRS) concepts and techniques described in Linear Referencing System.

Description
Returns the geometry object resulting from a clip operation on a geometric segment.
Note:
SDO_LRS.CLIP_GEOM_SEGMENT and SDO_LRS.DYNAMIC_SEGMENT are synonyms: both functions have the same parameters, behavior, and return value.
Parameters
- geom_segment
-
Geometric segment (LRS segment) containing measure information.
- dim_array
-
Dimensional information array corresponding to
geom_segment
, usually selected from one of the xxx_SDO_GEOM_METADATA views (described in Geometry Metadata Views). - start_measure
-
Start measure of the geometric segment.
- end_measure
-
End measure of the geometric segment.
- tolerance
-
Tolerance value (see Tolerance and Tolerance Values with LRS Functions). The default value is 0.00000001.
Usage Notes
An exception is raised if geom_segment
, start_measure
, or end_measure
is invalid.
start_measure
and end_measure
can be any points on the geometric segment. They do not have to be in any specific order. For example, start_measure
and end_measure
can be 5 and 10, respectively, or 10 and 5, respectively.
The direction and measures of the resulting geometric segment are preserved (that is, they reflect the original segment).
The _3D format of this function (SDO_LRS.CLIP_GEOM_SEGMENT_3D) is available. For information about _3D formats of LRS functions, see 3D Formats of LRS Functions.
For more information about clipping geometric segments, see Clipping a Geometric Segment.

27.9 SDO_LRS.CONVERT_TO_STD_LAYER
Format
SDO_LRS.CONVERT_TO_STD_LAYER( table_name IN VARCHAR2, column_name IN VARCHAR2 ) RETURN VARCHAR2;
Description
Converts all geometry objects in a column of type SDO_GEOMETRY (that is, converts a layer) from LRS geometric segments with measure information to standard line string geometries without measure information, and updates the metadata in the USER_SDO_GEOM_METADATA view.
Parameters
Usage Notes
This function returns TRUE if the conversion was successful or if the layer already is a standard layer (that is, contains geometries without measure information), and the function returns an exception if the conversion was not successful.
If a spatial index already exists on column_name
, you must delete (drop) the index before converting the layer and create a new index after converting the layer. For information about deleting and creating indexes, see the DROP INDEX and CREATE INDEX statements in SQL Statements for Indexing Spatial Data.

or
SDO_LRS.FIND_OFFSET( geom_segment IN SDO_GEOMETRY, dim_array IN SDO_DIM_ARRAY, point IN SDO_GEOMETRY [, point_dim_array IN SDO_GEOMETRY] ) RETURN NUMBER;
Description
Returns the signed offset (shortest distance) from a point to a geometric segment.
Parameters
- geom_segment
-
Geometric segment (LRS segment) containing measure information.
- point
-
Point whose shortest distance from
geom_segment
is to be returned. - tolerance
-
Tolerance value (see Tolerance and Tolerance Values with LRS Functions). The default value is 0.00000001.
- dim_array
-
Dimensional information array corresponding to
geom_segment
, usually selected from one of the xxx_SDO_GEOM_METADATA views (described in Geometry Metadata Views). - point_dim_array
-
Dimensional information array corresponding to
point
, usually selected from one of the xxx_SDO_GEOM_METADATA views (described in Geometry Metadata Views).
Usage Notes
This function calls the SDO_LRS.PROJECT_PT function format that includes the offset
output parameter: it passes in the geometric segment and point information, and it returns the SDO_LRS.PROJECT_PT offset
parameter value. Thus, to find the offset of a point from a geometric segment, you can use either this function or the SDO_LRS.PROJECT_PT function with the offset
parameter.
An exception is raised if geom_segment
or point
has an invalid geometry type or dimensionality, or if geom_segment
and point
are based on different coordinate systems.
For more information about offsets to a geometric segment, see Offset.
Examples
The following example returns the offset of point (9,3,NULL) from the geometric segment representing Route 1. (This example uses the definitions from the example in Example of LRS Functions.) As you can see from Example of LRS Functions, the point at (9,3,NULL) is on the right side along the segment, and therefore the offset has a negative value, as explained in Offset. The point at (9,3.NULL) is one distance unit away from the point at (9,4,NULL), which is on the segment.
-- Find the offset of point (9,3,NULL) from the road; should return -1. SELECT SDO_LRS.FIND_OFFSET(route_geometry, SDO_GEOMETRY(3301, NULL, NULL, SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1, 1, 1), SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(9, 3, NULL)) ) FROM lrs_routes WHERE route_id = 1; SDO_LRS.FIND_OFFSET(ROUTE_GEOMETRY,SDO_GEOMETRY(3301,NULL,NULL,SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARR -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -1

Description
Returns the point located at a specified distance from the start of a geometric segment.
Parameters
- geom_segment
-
Geometric segment (LRS segment) containing measure information.
- dim_array
-
Dimensional information array corresponding to
geom_segment
, usually selected from one of the xxx_SDO_GEOM_METADATA views (described in Geometry Metadata Views). - measure
-
Distance to measure from the start point of
geom_segment
. - offset
-
Distance to measure perpendicularly from the point that is located at
measure
units from the start point ofgeom_segment
. The default is 0 (that is, the point is ongeom_segment
).
Usage Notes
This function returns the referenced point. For example, on a highway, the point might represent the location of an accident.
The unit of measurement for offset
is the same as for the coordinate system associated with geom_segment
. For geodetic data, the default unit of measurement is meters.
With geodetic data using the WGS 84 coordinate system, this function can be used to return the longitude and latitude coordinates of any point on or offset from the segment.
An exception is raised if geom_segment
has an invalid geometry type or dimensionality, or if the location is out of range.
The _3D format of this function (SDO_LRS.LOCATE_PT_3D) is available; however, the offset
parameter is not available for SDO_LRS.LOCATE_PT_3D. For information about _3D formats of LRS functions, see 3D Formats of LRS Functions.

Examples
The following example creates a table for automobile accident data, inserts a record for an accident at the point at measure 9 and on (that is, offset 0) the geometric segment representing Route 1, and displays the data. (The accident table is deliberately oversimplified. This example also uses the route definition from the example in Example of LRS Functions.)

or
SDO_LRS.LRS_INTERSECTION( geom_1 IN SDO_GEOMETRY, geom_2 IN SDO_GEOMETRY, tolerance IN NUMBER ) RETURN SDO_GEOMETRY;
Description
Returns an LRS geometry object that is the topological intersection (AND operation) of two geometry objects where one or both are LRS geometries.
Parameters
- geom_1
-
Geometry object.
- dim_array_1
-
Dimensional information array corresponding to
geom_1
, usually selected from one of the xxx_SDO_GEOM_METADATA views (described in Geometry Metadata Views). - geom_2
-
Geometry object.
- dim_array_2
-
Dimensional information array corresponding to
geom_2
, usually selected from one of the xxx_SDO_GEOM_METADATA views (described in Geometry Metadata Views). - tolerance
-
Tolerance value (see Tolerance).
Usage Notes
This function performs essentially the same intersection operation as the SDO_GEOM.SDO_INTERSECTION function (described in SDO_GEOM Package (Geometry)), except that SDO_LRS.LRS_INTERSECTION is designed to return a valid LRS geometry (point, line string, or multiline string) where one or both of the geometry-related input parameters are LRS geometries. (If neither input geometry is an LRS geometry, this function operates the same as the SDO_GEOM.SDO_INTERSECTION function.).
The returned geometry is an LRS line string, multiline string, or point geometry that includes measure dimension information. The measure values reflect those in the first LRS geometry specified as an input parameter.
The first LRS geometry specified as an input parameter must not be a polygon; it must be a line string, multiline string, or point.
If an LRS line string (geometric segment) intersects a line string (LRS or standard), the result is an LRS point; if an LRS line string intersects a polygon, the result is an LRS line string.
An exception is raised if geom_1
and geom_2
are based on different coordinate systems.
Examples
The following example shows an LRS geometric segment (illustrated in Figure 7-20 in Example of LRS Functions) intersected by a vertical line from (8,2) to (8,6). The result is an LRS point geometry, in which the measure value (8) reflects the measure for that point (designated as Exit 3 in Figure 7-20) in the geom_1
geometry. (This example uses the definitions from the example in Example of LRS Functions.)

geometry. (This example uses the definitions from the example in Example of LRS Functions.)

-
Geometric segment (LRS segment) containing measure information.
- dim_array
-
Dimensional information array corresponding to

Description
Returns the percentage (0 to 100) that a specified measure is of the measure range of a geometric segment.
Parameters
- geom_segment
-
Geometric segment (LRS segment) containing measure information.
- dim_array
-
Dimensional information array corresponding to
geom_segment
, usually selected from one of the xxx_SDO_GEOM_METADATA views (described in Geometry Metadata Views). - measure
-
Measure value. This function returns the percentage that this measure value is of the measure range.
Usage Notes
This function returns a number (0 to 100) that is the percentage of the measure range that the specified measure represents. (The measure range is the end measure minus the start measure.) For example, if the measure range of geom_segment
is 50 and measure
is 20, the function returns 40 (because 20/50 = 40%).
This function performs the reverse of the SDO_LRS.PERCENTAGE_TO_MEASURE function, which returns the measure that corresponds to a percentage value.
An exception is raised if geom_segment
or measure
is invalid.
Examples
The following example returns the percentage that 5 is of the measure range of the geometric segment representing Route 1. (This example uses the definitions from the example in Example of LRS Functions.) The measure range of this segment is 27, and 5 is approximately 18.5 percent of 27.

Description
Returns the geometric segment at a specified offset from a geometric segment.
Parameters
- geom_segment
-
Geometric segment (LRS segment) containing measure information.
- dim_array
-
Dimensional information array corresponding to
geom_segment
, usually selected from one of the xxx_SDO_GEOM_METADATA views (described in Geometry Metadata Views). - start_measure
-
Start measure of
geom_segment
at which to start the offset operation. - end_measure
-
End measure of
geom_segment
at which to start the offset operation. - offset
-
Distance to measure perpendicularly from the points along
geom_segment
. Positive offset values are to the left ofgeom_segment
; negative offset values are to the right ofgeom_segment
. - tolerance
-
Tolerance value (see Tolerance and Tolerance Values with LRS Functions). The default value is 0.00000001.
- unit
-
Unit of measurement specification: a quoted string with one or both of the following keywords:
-
unit
and an SDO_UNIT value from the MDSYS.SDO_DIST_UNITS table. See Unit of Measurement Support for more information about unit of measurement specification. -
arc_tolerance
and an arc tolerance value. See the Usage Notes for the SDO_GEOM.SDO_ARC_DENSIFY function in SDO_GEOM Package (Geometry) for more information about thearc_tolerance
keyword.
For example: 'unit=km arc_tolerance=0.05'
If the input geometry is geodetic data, this parameter is required, and arc_tolerance
must be specified. If the input geometry is Cartesian or projected data, arc_tolerance
has no effect and should not be specified.
If this parameter is not specified for a Cartesian or projected geometry, or if the arc_tolerance
keyword is specified for a geodetic geometry but the unit
keyword is not specified, the unit of measurement associated with the data is assumed.
Usage Notes
start_measure
and end_measure
can be any points on the geometric segment. They do not have to be in any specific order. For example, start_measure
and end_measure
can be 5 and 10, respectively, or 10 and 5, respectively.
The direction and measures of the resulting geometric segment are preserved (that is, they reflect the original segment).
The geometry type of geom_segment
must be line or multiline. For example, it cannot be a polygon.
An exception is raised if geom_segment
, start_measure
, or end_measure
is invalid.
Examples
The following example returns the geometric segment 2 distance units to the left (positive offset 2) of the segment from measures 5 through 10 of Route 1. Note in SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY of the returned segment that the Y values (6) are 2 greater than the Y values (4) of the relevant part of the original segment.

Description
Returns the measure value of a specified percentage (0 to 100) of the measure range of a geometric segment.
Parameters
- geom_segment
-
Geometric segment (LRS segment) containing measure information.

-
Dimensional information array corresponding to

This function performs the reverse of the SDO_LRS.MEASURE_TO_PERCENTAGE function, which returns the percentage value that corresponds to a measure.
An exception is raised if geom_segment
has an invalid geometry type or dimensionality, or if percentage
is less than 0 or greater than 100.
Examples
The following example returns the measure that is 50 percent of the measure range of the geometric segment representing Route 1. (This example uses the definitions from the example in Example of LRS Functions.) The measure range of this segment is 27, and 50 percent of 27 is 13.5.

Description
Returns the projection point of a specified point. The projection point is on the geometric segment.
Parameters
- geom_segment
-
Geometric segment (LRS segment) containing measure information.
- dim_array
-
Dimensional information array corresponding to
geom_segment
, usually selected from one of the xxx_SDO_GEOM_METADATA views (described in Geometry Metadata Views). - point

Usage Notes
This function returns the projection point (including its measure) of a specified point (point
). The projection point is on the geometric segment.
If multiple projection points exist, the first projection point encountered from the start point is returned.
If you specify the output parameter offset
, the function stores the signed offset (shortest distance) from the point to the geometric segment. For more information about the offset to a geometric segment, see Offset.
An exception is raised if geom_segment
or point
has an invalid geometry type or dimensionality, or if geom_segment
and point
are based on different coordinate systems.

27.38 SDO_LRS.REVERSE_GEOMETRY
Format
SDO_LRS.REVERSE_GEOMETRY( geom IN SDO_GEOMETRY [, dim_array IN SDO_DIM_ARRAY] ) RETURN SDO_GEOMETRY;
Description
Returns a new geometric segment by reversing the measure values and the direction of the original geometric segment.
Parameters
- geom
-
Geometric segment (LRS segment) containing measure information.
- dim_array
-
Dimensional information array corresponding to
geom
, usually selected from one of the xxx_SDO_GEOM_METADATA views (described in Geometry Metadata Views).
Usage Notes
This function:
-
Reverses the measure values of
geom
That is, the start measure of
geom
is the end measure of the returned geometric segment, the end measure ofgeom
is the start measure of the returned geometric segment, and all other measures are adjusted accordingly. -
Reverses the direction of
geom
Compare this function with SDO_LRS.REVERSE_MEASURE, which reverses only the measure values (not the direction) of a geometric segment.
To reverse the vertices of a non-LRS line string geometry, use the SDO_UTIL.REVERSE_LINESTRING function, which is described in SDO_UTIL Package (Utility).
An exception is raised if geom
has an invalid geometry type or dimensionality. The geometry type must be a line or multiline, and the dimensionality must be 3 (two dimensions plus the measure dimension).
The _3D format of this function (SDO_LRS.REVERSE_GEOMETRY_3D) is available. For information about _3D formats of LRS functions, see 3D Formats of LRS Functions.
Examples
The following example reverses the measure values and the direction of the geometric segment representing Route 1. (This example uses the definitions from the example in Example of LRS Functions.)
-- Reverse direction and measures (for example, to prepare for -- concatenating with another road). -- First, display the original segment; then, reverse.

27.39 SDO_LRS.REVERSE_MEASURE
Format
SDO_LRS.REVERSE_MEASURE( geom_segment IN SDO_GEOMETRY [, dim_array IN SDO_DIM_ARRAY] ) RETURN SDO_GEOMETRY;
Description
Returns a new geometric segment by reversing the measure values, but not the direction, of the original geometric segment.
Parameters
- geom_segment
-
Geometric segment (LRS segment) containing measure information.
- dim_array
-
Dimensional information array corresponding to
geom_segment
, usually selected from one of the xxx_SDO_GEOM_METADATA views (described in Geometry Metadata Views).
Usage Notes
This function:
-
Reverses the measure values of
geom_segment
That is, the start measure of
geom_segment
is the end measure of the returned geometric segment, the end measure ofgeom_segment
is the start measure of the returned geometric segment, and all other measures are adjusted accordingly. -
Does not affect the direction of
geom_segment
Compare this function with SDO_LRS.REVERSE_GEOMETRY, which reverses both the direction and the measure values of a geometric segment.
An exception is raised if geom_segment
has an invalid geometry type or dimensionality.
The _3D format of this function (SDO_LRS.REVERSE_MEASURE_3D) is available. For information about _3D formats of LRS functions, see 3D Formats of LRS Functions.
Note:
The behavior of the SDO_LRS.REVERSE_MEASURE function changed after release 8.1.7. In release 8.1.7, REVERSE_MEASURE reversed both the measures and the segment direction. However, if you want to have this same behavior with subsequent releases, you must use the SDO_LRS.REVERSE_GEOMETRY function.
Examples
The following example reverses the measure values of the geometric segment representing Route 1, but does not affect the direction. (This example uses the definitions from the example in Example of LRS Functions.)
-- First, display the original segment; then, reverse.

or
SDO_LRS.SCALE_GEOM_SEGMENT( geom_segment IN SDO_GEOMETRY, dim_array IN SDO_DIM_ARRAY, start_measure IN NUMBER, end_measure IN NUMBER, shift_measure IN NUMBER, ) RETURN SDO_GEOMETRY;
Description
Returns the geometry object resulting from a measure scaling operation on a geometric segment.
Parameters
- geom_segment
-
Geometric segment (LRS segment) containing measure information.
- dim_array
-
Dimensional information array corresponding to
geom_segment
, usually selected from one of the xxx_SDO_GEOM_METADATA views (described in Geometry Metadata Views). - start_measure
-
Start measure of the geometric segment.
- end_measure
-
End measure of the geometric segment.
- shift_measure
-
Amount to be added to each measure value after the initial scaling. A value of 0 (zero) means that nothing is added (no shifting of measure values).
- tolerance
-
Tolerance value (see Tolerance and Tolerance Values with LRS Functions). The default value is 0.00000001.
Usage Notes
This function performs the following actions:
-
It redistributes the measure values of the LRS geometric segment, using between
start_measure
for the start point andend_measure
for the end point, and adjusting (scaling) the measure values in between accordingly. -
If
shift_measure
is not 0 (zero), it translates (shifts) each measure value computed in step 1 by adding theshift_measure
value.
The action of this function is sometimes referred to as "stretching" the measure values. The function affects only the measure values; the other coordinates of the geometry are not changed.
An exception is raised if geom_segment
, start_measure
, or end_measure
is invalid.
The direction of the resulting geometric segment is preserved (that is, it reflects the original segment).
For more information about scaling geometric segments, see Scaling a Geometric Segment .
Examples
The following example scales the geometric segment representing Route 1, returning a segment in which the start measure is specified as100, the end measure is specified 200, with a shift measure value of 10. Consequently, after all measure values are scaled according to the start and end measure values, 10 is added to all measure values. Thus, for example, the start point measure is 110 and the end point measure is 210 in the returned geometry. (This example uses the definitions from the example in Example of LRS Functions.)

Description
Sets the measure value of a specified point.
Parameters
- geom_segment
-
Geometric segment (LRS segment containing measure information) that contains the point.
- dim_array
-
Dimensional information array corresponding to
geom_segment

Dimensional information array corresponding to
point
(in the second format), usually selected from one of the xxx_SDO_GEOM_METADATA views (described in Geometry Metadata Views). - measure
-
Measure value to be assigned to the specified point.
Usage Notes
The function returns TRUE if the measure value was successfully set, and FALSE if the measure value was not set.
If both geom_segment
and point
are specified, the behavior of the procedure depends on whether or not point
is a shape point on geom_segment
:
-
If
point
is a shape point ongeom_segment
, the measure value ofpoint
is set. -
If
point
is not a shape point ongeom_segment
, the shape point ongeom_segment
that is nearest topoint
is found, and the measure value of that shape point is set.
The _3D format of this function (SDO_LRS.SET_PT_MEASURE_3D) is available; however, only the formats that include the geom_segment
parameter are available for SDO_LRS.SET_PT_MEASURE_3D. For information about _3D formats of LRS functions, see 3D Formats of LRS Functions.

This function adds translate_m
to the start and end measures of geom_segment
. For example, if geom_segment
has a start measure of 50 and an end measure of 100, and if translate_m
is 10, the returned geometric segment has a start measure of 60 and an end measure of 110, as shown in th following figure.

Description of "Figure 27-1 Translating a Geometric Segment"
An exception is raised if geom_segment
has an invalid geometry type or dimensionality.
The _3D format of this function (SDO_LRS.TRANSLATE_MEASURE_3D) is available. For information about _3D formats of LRS functions, see 3D Formats of LRS Functions.
Examples
The following example translates (shifts) by 10 the geometric segment representing Route 1. (This example uses the definitions from the example in Example of LRS Functions.)
SELECT SDO_LRS.TRANSLATE_MEASURE(a.route_geometry, m.diminfo, 10) FROM lrs_routes a, user_sdo_geom_metadata m WHERE m.table_name = 'LRS_ROUTES' AND m.column_name = 'ROUTE_GEOMETRY' AND a.route_id = 1; SDO_LRS.TRANSLATE_MEASURE(A.ROUTE_GEOMETRY,M.DIMINFO,10)(SDO_GTYPE, SDO_SRID, SD -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SDO_GEOMETRY(3302, NULL, NULL, SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1, 2, 1), SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY( 2, 2, 10, 2, 4, 12, 8, 4, 18, 12, 4, 22, 12, 10, 28, 8, 10, 32, 5, 14, 37))

27.44 SDO_LRS.VALID_GEOM_SEGMENT
Format
SDO_LRS.VALID_GEOM_SEGMENT( geom_segment IN SDO_GEOMETRY [, dim_array IN SDO_DIM_ARRAY] ) RETURN VARCHAR2;
Description
Checks if a geometry object is a valid geometric segment.
Parameters
- geom_segment
-
Geometric segment (LRS segment) containing measure information.
- dim_array
-
Dimensional information array corresponding to
geom_segment
, usually selected from one of the xxx_SDO_GEOM_METADATA views (described in Geometry Metadata Views).
Usage Notes
This function returns TRUE if geom_segment
is valid and FALSE if geom_segment
is not valid.
Measure information is assumed to be stored in the last element of the SDO_DIM_ARRAY in the Oracle Spatial and Graph metadata.
This function only checks for geometry type and number of dimensions of the geometric segment. To further validate measure information, use the SDO_LRS.IS_GEOM_SEGMENT_DEFINED function.
The _3D format of this function (SDO_LRS.VALID_GEOM_SEGMENT_3D) is available. For information about _3D formats of LRS functions, see 3D Formats of LRS Functions.
Examples
The following example checks if the geometric segment representing Route 1 is valid. (This example uses the definitions from the example in Example of LRS Functions.)
SELECT SDO_LRS.VALID_GEOM_SEGMENT(route_geometry) FROM lrs_routes WHERE route_id = 1; SDO_LRS.VALID_GEOM_SEGMENT(ROUTE_GEOMETRY) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TRUE

27.45 SDO_LRS.VALID_LRS_PT
Format
SDO_LRS.VALID_LRS_PT( point IN SDO_GEOMETRY [, dim_array IN SDO_DIM_ARRAY] ) RETURN VARCHAR2;
Description
Checks if an LRS point is valid.
Parameters
- point
-
Point to be checked for validity.
- dim_array
-
Dimensional information array corresponding to
point
, usually selected from one of the xxx_SDO_GEOM_METADATA views (described in Geometry Metadata Views).
Usage Notes
This function returns TRUE if point
is valid and FALSE if point
is not valid.
This function checks if point
is a point with measure information, and it checks for the geometry type and number of dimensions for the point geometry.
All LRS point data must be stored in the SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY and SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY, and cannot be stored in the SDO_POINT field in the SDO_GEOMETRY definition of the point.
The _3D format of this function (SDO_LRS.VALID_LRS_PT_3D) is available. For information about _3D formats of LRS functions, see 3D Formats of LRS Functions.
Examples
The following example checks if point (9,3,NULL) is a valid LRS point. (This example uses the definitions from the example in Example of LRS Functions.)
SELECT SDO_LRS.VALID_LRS_PT( SDO_GEOMETRY(3301, NULL, NULL, SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1, 1, 1), SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(9, 3, NULL)), m.diminfo) FROM lrs_routes a, user_sdo_geom_metadata m WHERE m.table_name = 'LRS_ROUTES' AND m.column_name = 'ROUTE_GEOMETRY' AND a.route_id = 1; SDO_LRS.VALID_LRS_PT(SDO_GEOMETRY(3301,NULL,NULL,SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1,1,1),SDO_ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TRUE

27.46 SDO_LRS.VALID_MEASURE
Format
SDO_LRS.VALID_MEASURE( geom_segment IN SDO_GEOMETRY, measure IN NUMBER ) RETURN VARCHAR2;
or
SDO_LRS.VALID_MEASURE( geom_segment IN SDO_GEOMETRY, dim_array IN SDO_DIM_ARRAY, measure IN NUMBER ) RETURN VARCHAR2;
Description
Checks if a measure falls within the measure range of a geometric segment.
Parameters
- geom_segment
-
Geometric segment (LRS segment) containing measure information.
- dim_array
-
Dimensional information array corresponding to
geom_segment
, usually selected from one of the xxx_SDO_GEOM_METADATA views (described in Geometry Metadata Views). - measure
-
Measure value to be checked to see if it falls within the measure range of
geom_segment
.
Usage Notes
This function returns TRUE if measure
falls within the measure range of geom_segment
and FALSE if measure
does not fall within the measure range of geom_segment
.
An exception is raised if geom_segment
has an invalid geometry type or dimensionality.
The _3D format of this function (SDO_LRS.VALID_MEASURE_3D) is available. For information about _3D formats of LRS functions, see 3D Formats of LRS Functions.
Examples
The following example checks if 50 is a valid measure on the Route 1 segment. The function returns FALSE because the measure range for that segment is 0 to 27. For example, if the route is 27 miles long with mile markers at 1-mile intervals, there is no 50-mile marker because the last marker is the 27-mile marker. (This example uses the definitions from the example in Example of LRS Functions.)
SELECT SDO_LRS.VALID_MEASURE(route_geometry, 50) FROM lrs_routes WHERE route_id = 1; SDO_LRS.VALID_MEASURE(ROUTE_GEOMETRY,50) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FALSE
