Modeling Spheres, Cones, Cylinders in Oracle Spatial

660149Feb 17 2009 — edited Feb 23 2009

Hi,

I'm new to Oracle Spatial and have a fairly basic question.

How do you model Spheres, Cones, Cylinders as objects (3-d obviously) in Oracle Spatial? I know a sphere can normally be modeled using a point and a radius but is that something you store as an SDO_GEOMETRY item using any 3-d gtypes (like maybe 3008 to get volume?) Also, can you then embed another object (like a cylinder) inside the sphere and deduct its volume from the sphere's volume?

Thanks!
