SDO_GEOR.getBinTable(
     georaster   IN SDO_GEORASTER, 
     layerNumber IN NUMBER 
     ) RETURN VARCHAR2;

Description

Returns the name of the bin table associated with a layer.

Parameters

georaster

GeoRaster object.

layerNumber

Number of the layer for which to return the bin table name. A value of 0 (zero) indicates the object layer.

Usage Notes

This function is relevant only if the bin type is EXPLICIT. To retrieve the bin type, use the SDO_GEOR.getBinType function.

To specify a bin table for a layer, use the SDO_GEOR.setBinTable procedure.

See also the information in the Usage Notes for the SDO_GEOR.getBinType function.

If georaster or its metadata is null, this function returns a null value.

An exception is raised if layerNumber is null, negative, or greater than the maximum layer number.

Examples

The following example returns the name of the bin table for layer number 4 of a specified GeoRaster object in a table named GEORASTER_TABLE, whose definition is presented after Example 1-1 in Storage Parameters.

SELECT sdo_geor.getBinTable(georaster, 4) FROM georaster_table WHERE georid=4;
