The Oracle Spatial Reader/Writer module enables FME to read and write geometric, raster, point cloud, and attribute data stored using Oracle Spatial. This module communicates directly with Oracle Spatial for maximum throughput. Both the relational and object-relational models of Oracle Spatial are supported by FME: the object-relational model is discussed here and the relational model is discussed in a separate chapter – Oracle Spatial Relational Reader/Writer. The object-relational model is often referred to as simply the object model, to prevent confusion with the pure relational model.
Raster and point cloud reading and writing are handled by unique readers and writers, but are covered in this documentation chapter.
If only attributes are to be read or written, the FME Oracle Non-Spatial reader and writer module should be used.
This section assumes familiarity with Oracle Spatial, the geometry types it supports, its indexing mechanisms and raster and point cloud components.
Tip: The FeatureReader transformer performs queries against any FME-supported format.
