Following recent training, the Navigate Oracle Spatial training team are now accredited to teach 10G Oracle Spatial. Oracle University have expanded the past syllabus into a three day 10G Fundamentals course and a subsequent two day Advanced course.

The Fundamentals courses teaches students how to model, create and index tables with spatial data and learn about Oracle's native spatial data type. Students learn how to load and index spatial data into the database and the use of spatial operators and functions for spatial query and analysis operations. Oracle Spatial's Geocoder, Linear Referencing System (LRS), coordinate systems support and the Oracle Application Server MapViewer are also described.

The Fundamentals course is for those who are new to Oracle Spatial and looking to improve their skills or those with a background in desktop spatial systems wanting to investigate the advantages of geospatial database capabilities for the enterprise.

The Advanced course includes new features of Oracle Spatial 10g and the advanced Spatial indexing features, including local partitioned spatial indexes, function based spatial indexes, and spatial indexes on embedded spatial objects. Use of the GeoRaster datatype for images and grids is included together with more details on the MapViewer and the Geocoder and Router capabilities are covered in more detail. The new Topology datatype and model are taught and the Network Data Model introduced. This course also covers Spatial Analysis and Mining and the Oracle Workspace Manager.

The Advanced course is suitable for those who have attended either the 10G Fundamentals or 9i Spatial course or those who have extensive experience in working with Oracle Spatial.

Course schedules are available on the Oracle Education web site. However courses are easily arranged by Navigate at short notice in any major city should numbers be sufficient.
