Oracle Spatial GeoRaster Reader/Writer
FME can read and write GeoRaster and attribute data stored using Oracle Spatial. This module communicates directly with Oracle Spatial for maximum throughput.
This section assumes familiarity with Oracle Spatial, its GeoRaster support, and its indexing mechanisms.

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. |
Reader Overview
This reader reads GeoRaster tables from Oracle Spatial databases.
Writer Overview
The Oracle Spatial GeoRaster writer module stores raster and attribute data in an Oracle Spatial database. Only uppercase table names are supported.
FME Raster Features
FME raster features represent raster data and use several concepts that are unlike those used in the handling of vector data.
For comprehensive information about how FME processes raster data, see Rasters.
Oracle supports rasters with an arbitrary number of bands, provided all bands are the same data type. Any number of bands may optionally have a palette.
Oracle supports reading and writing 1-, 2-, and 4-bit rasters. Note that the smallest data type supported by FME is 1 byte (8 bits). Thus, on reading, 1-, 2-, and 4-bit rasters are automatically converted to 8 bits. On writing, an option is provided to reduce the size of 8-bit rasters to 1, 2, or 4 bits.
