non-graphical sub-feature

You can use the foreign key on any set of tables to define a relationshp between the tables.

This is not a normal out of the box Oracle usage of this relationship. We use it to extend the concept of a sub-feature to tthe spatial functionality of Oracle database.

The documentation you are referring to is specific for Oracle Spatial. However, you can create non-graphical subfeatures and store those in dgn/XFM files. In the Geospatial Administrator you can add subfeatures of type "data".

Hope this helps,

Martin,

how can I create/fill these subfeatures after I defined them? Cn you provide a simple example for such a feature model?

TIA,

Holger

You can also do this in a database recod situation. For example:

• Create a table that will have a database record/graphics.
• Now have another table, lets say from another department, that you want to also review ( and possibly edit) attributes from that department;s table, but you do not want to copy the data to your table.
• Using the foreign key, you can now link that table to your table, thus being able to 'see' the other table data.

Hi. For this kind of subfeature you have to provide custom placement / editing code. You can have a look at our example schema, there is a data feature and subfeature in the examples, with some placement code in VB.

Jerry, Martin,

thanks for pointing out. I will have a look at the schema and try Jerry's suggestion with the database.
