Description

Publishes GeoRaster objects as WCS coverages.

Parameters

georaster

A GeoRaster object to be published as a WCS coverage.

user_name

Name of the user (schema) that owns the table with GeoRaster columns.

table_name

Name of the GeoRaster table whose GeoRaster objects are to be published.

column_name

Name of the GeoRaster column in table_name.

updateable

Contains the string TRUE if the published coverages are to be editable through a transaction request; contains the string FALSE (default) if the published coverages are not to be editable through a transaction request.

Usage Notes

A unique coverage Id is assigned to each GeoRaster published. The GetCapabilities Operation (WCS) response will show the newly generated coverage ID. A GeoRaster object can only be published once.

For information about support for WCS, see Web Coverage Service (WCS) Support.

Examples

The following example publishes a specific GeoRaster object (where ID=1) from a table named GEORASTER_TABLE in the SCOTT schema as a coverage.

DECLARE
  gr1   SDO_GEORASTER;
BEGIN
  SELECT raster INTO gr1 FROM SCOTT.GEORASTER_TABLE where ID=1;
  SDO_WCS.PublishCoverage(gr1);
END;
/

The following example publishes all GeoRaster objects in the RASTER column of the IMAGE table in the SCOTT schema.

CALL SDO_WCS.publishCoverage('SCOTT','IMAGE','RASTER');
