ArcGIS Pro 2.6.8; Oracle 18c; 10.7.1 EGDB; SDE.ST_GEOMETRY
It seems like there are four different states a feature can be in:
- Has shape and geometry. Normal polygon; visible in map.
- Geometry's points blob can be considered a list of coordinates like "(1,2 3,4 5,6)".
- Has shape and geometry, but AREA and NUMPTS are zero (geometry is NIL/zero vertex).
- Has shape, but no geometry.
- Shape field is completely null.
select
objectid,
shape,
(shape).points as geometry,
sde.st_area(shape) as area,
sde.st_isempty(shape) as is_empty,
comment3,
(shape).entity,
sde.st_entity(shape),
(shape).numpts
from
infrastr.inf_record_sp
Question:
For testing purposes, how can I create a feature like the one in state #3, where the shape is not null, but the geometry is null?
I'm hoping to create such a feature using SQL. But I'm open to other techniques, too.
