For Oracle 10g Release 2 only (10.2g)

Linux (MUST BE DONE ON WHERE YOU HAVE ORACLE DB SERVER RUNNING, on BZ10M server, for example):

• Download and unpack http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/spatial/files/shape2sdojava.zip
  • In case the above link no longer works: bz10m.inf.unibz.it:/data/spatial/shape/bz10m/buses/networks/util/shape2sdojava.zip
• Compile:
  • cd <into directory where you extracted the archive>
  • check for you $ORACLE_HOME, if does not exist, create one (depending on your environment):

set | grep ORACLE_HOME

should output something like ORACLE_HOME=/usr/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1

javac -classpath $ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib/ojdbc14.jar:./sdoutl.jar:$ORACLE_HOME/md/lib/sdoapi.jar SampleShapefileToJGeomFeature.java

• Execute:

java -cp .:$ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib/ojdbc14.jar:sdoutl.jar:$ORACLE_HOME/md/lib/sdoapi.jar SampleShapefileToJGeomFeature -h HOST -p PORT -s SID -u USER -d PASS -t TABLE -f FILE_NAME

where

• HOST - Oracle 10.2 hostname (e.g. bz10m.inf.unibz.it)
• PORT - port of the DB like 1521 (must be indicated always)
• SID of the database (e.g. orcl)
• USER - username
• PASS - user's password
• TABLE - spatial table name which will be created in Oracle
• FILE_NAME - Shapefile name (without extension)

Oracle 10g Release 1 needs additional patches (read about them in shape2sdojava.zip readme.txt)

If anything, contact me (the creator of this page) {at} unibz {dot} it.
