27 SDO_OLS Package (OpenLS)

The MDSYS.SDO_OLS package contains subprograms for Spatial OpenLS support.

To use the subprograms in this chapter, you must understand the conceptual and usage information about OpenLS in Chapter 14.

Table 27-1 lists the OpenLS subprograms.

Table 27-1 Subprograms for OpenLS Support

Subprogram	Description
