Format

SDO_GEOR.getRasterRange(
     georaster   IN SDO_GEORASTER, 
     layerNumber IN NUMBER DEFAULT 0 
     ) RETURN SDO_NUMBER_ARRAY;

Description

Computes and returns the minimum and maximum cell values of a specified layer of a GeoRaster object or of the GeoRaster object itself (the object layer).

Parameters

georaster

GeoRaster object.

layerNumber

Number of the layer for which to return the range of cell values. A value of 0 (zero, the default) indicates the object layer. (As mentioned in Bands_ Layers_ and Metadata, the logical layer number is the physical band number plus 1.)

Usage Notes

This function goes through all cell values of a specified layer of a GeoRaster object, and returns an SDO_NUMBER_ARRAY object with two values: the minimum and maximum cell values.

If the GeoRaster object already has statistical metadata generated, you can call the SDO_GEOR.getStatistics function to quickly retrieve the minimum and maximum values directly for the raster range.

For information about bands and layers, see Bands_ Layers_ and Metadata.

Examples

The following example computes and returns the raster range for the whole GeoRaster object.

DECLARE
  gr sdo_georaster;
  range sdo_number_array;
BEGIN
  select georaster into gr from georaster_table where georid=1;
  range:=sdo_geor.getRasterRange(gr, 0);
END;
