Part II
Relational Model

Oracle Spatial supports two models for representing geometries: relational and object-relational. The two models are mutually exclusive. See Section 1.2 for a description of how to choose the model best suited for your application.

Note:
In the next release of Oracle Spatial, the relational model will no longer be documented in this guide, but will instead be documented in a separate document whose title and location will be announced.
Spatial applications using the relational model will continue to work; however, if you are not already using the object-relational model for all Spatial applications, you are encouraged to do so before the next release.

This part of the User's Guide and Reference contains the following chapters, describing the relational model:

Chapter 12, "The Relational Schema"
Chapter 13, "Loading Spatial Data (Relational Model)"
Chapter 14, "Querying Spatial Data (Relational Model)"
Chapter 15, "Administrative Functions and Procedures for Relational Model"
Chapter 16, "Tuning Functions and Procedures for Relational Model"
Chapter 17, "Geometry Functions and Procedures for Relational Model"
Chapter 18, "Window Functions and Procedures for Relational Model"
