Oracle Spatial Object Reader/Writer

FME can read and write geometric and attribute data stored using Oracle Spatial.

This module communicates directly with Oracle Spatial for maximum throughput.

Using FME with Oracle Formats

Oracle Format	Data Type
Oracle Non-Spatial Reader/Writer	attributes only
Oracle Spatial GeoRaster Reader/Writer	raster
Oracle Spatial Object Reader/Writer	object relational model (referred to as the object model)
Oracle Spatial Point Cloud Reader/Writer	point cloud
Oracle Spatial Relational Reader/Writer	relational model

Oracle Spatial Product and System Requirements

Compatibility Oracle libraries are not yet available for the macOS M1 ARM architecture (Apple Silicon). Please use an alternative platform such as Intel macOS.

Format Notes

Oracle and FME	Description
3D Geometry Support	Reading and writing of 3D surfaces and solids is available only for Oracle 11g and above.
Oracle Instant Client	Instant Client can be used to run your OCI, OCCI, JDBC, and ODBC applications without installing a full Oracle Client. Instant Client supports SQL*Plus. See the FME Community for more information on how Instant Client works with FME.
Oracle Wallet	To use an Oracle Wallet with FME, leave the Username and Password parameters empty, and enter the name of the Oracle Wallet as the value of the Service Name or Easy Connect parameter.
Supporting Very Large Geometries	By default, Oracle Spatial can only support geometry with less than 1,048,576 ordinates. Note For more information about supporting larger geometries, see Increasing the Size of Ordinate Arrays to Support Very Large Geometries in the Oracle Spatial Developer's Guide.

Reader Overview

The Oracle Spatial Object reader reads attributes and geometry from Spatial tables in an Oracle Spatial Database.

Writer Overview

The Oracle Spatial Object writer module stores geometric and attribute data in an Oracle Spatial database. Both uppercase and lowercase table names are supported. The writer supports the following features:

Feature	Description
Transaction Support	Provides transaction support that eases the data loading process. Occasionally, a data load operation terminates prematurely due to data difficulties. The transaction support provides a mechanism for reloading corrected data without data loss or duplication.
Table Creation	Uses the information within the FME workspace to automatically create database tables as needed.
Table Dropping	Allows each table to be written to be dropped if recreating, or truncated if appending.
Index Creation	Sets up and populates all needed indexes and index tables as part of the loading process.
Bulk Loading	Uses a bulk loading technique to ensure speedy data load.
