Oracle has a pretty good course for using their spatial software. "Easy" is
a tough call. The concepts of planar geometry and spatial database theory
are a bit complicated. I would say that Oracle's software is relatively easy
to use in the context of a pretty challenging field of knowledge.

 

It depends a lot on how complex a use of Spatial features is in your
immedate future.

 

I'd say the "fine working with" conversion rate from being a professional
with relational technology to working with Oracle Spatial and Spatial data
models is similar to the conversion rate from working with third generation
programming languages to object oriented languages and that it varies by
person.

Hi All, 

 

   Does anyone know Oracle Spatial ?

   Is it easy to use ?

   A professional that works with Relataional Database will be fine working
with Oracle Spatial and Spatial data models ?

 

Thanks
