Format

SDO_GEOR.getSpatialDimNumber(
     georaster  IN SDO_GEORASTER 
     ) RETURN NUMBER;

Description

Returns the number of spatial dimensions of a GeoRaster object.

Parameters

georaster

GeoRaster object.

Usage Notes

For the current release, this function always returns 2.

To return the number of cells in each spatial dimension of a GeoRaster object, use the SDO_GEOR.getSpatialDimSizes function.

Examples

The following example returns the GEORID column value, the number of spatial dimensions, and the number of cells in each spatial dimension for the GeoRaster objects in the table named GEORASTER_TABLE, whose definition is presented after Example 1-1 in Storage Parameters. (The output is reformatted for readability.)

SELECT georid, sdo_geor.getSpatialDimNumber(georaster) spatialDim,
           sdo_geor.getSpatialDimSizes(georaster) spatialDimSizes
   FROM georaster_table;
