GO Loader Features

GO Loader is offered in two editions depending on the data set and Oracle database being used:

Standard Edition

generally suitable for regional-level data e.g. Cities, Smaller Counties

For use with Oracle Standard Edition

Loads GML into Oracle Spatial / Locator

Includes pre-defined data models for OS MasterMap

Enterprise Edition

designed for larger and national data sets.

For use with Oracle Enterprise Edition - increased manageability, performance and scalability

Facility for Spatial clustering and partitioning

Creates Oracle SQL Load files

Fast

  • High speed loading - over 2000 features / sec (on an entry level PC)
  • Parallel data loading - Run multiple GO Loader Agents in parallel to further increase load and update speeds.
  • Progress logging - Monitor load progress remotely with GO Loader's unique reporter - essential for managing large loads

GO Loader Enterprise Edition

A national (or significant) load is likely to use Oracle Enterprise Edition. Customers will want to ensure their spatial data holding utilises the power of Oracle's premium offering.

GO Loader Enterprise Edition includes all the features of GO Loader Standard Edition above, plus a number of key additions designed to work with Oracle Enterprise Edition to increase the manageability, performance and scalability of your enterprise spatial database.

  • Manage database administration spatially: GO Loader's support for Spatial Partitioning* allows you to backup, index and re-index specific areas of your holding without bringing offline your entire database.

  • Create SQL Loader files: For the experienced Oracle DBA, GO Loader can load directly into SQL Loader files for bulk loading via a native Oracle format.

  • Create multiple spatial indexes: GO Loader's support for Spatial Partitioning* enables you to divide a large spatial index into a collection of smaller more efficient indexes, increasing both the quality and manageability of the overall spatial index.

  • Assign Spatial Cluster keys: Performance of spatial queries can be greatly increased through GO Loader's support for assigning Spatial Clustering keys during database load.

* Requires Oracle Partitioning option
