How To?: Upload MDSYS SDO_GEOMETRY spatial Type Data from .siard into MySQL

[ibbenz]

I want to upload the content of a SIARD-File, containing spatial data, to a MySQL database. The SIARD-File contains a MDSYS SDO_GEOMETRY Datatype, which is a spatial datatype in ORACLE databases. MySQL offers a related type called GEOGRAPHY. A direct upload of a SIARD containing MDSYS-data into MySQL via Siard Suite results in an error. Which is the SiardSuite configuration or workaround to upload the MDSYS spatial data into a MySQL DB from a SIARD-file?

The SIARD-File: 0_4-6_oe_Northwind_complex_V02.zip s

The Error Message: Archive upload failed ( java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "ch.admin.bar.siard2.api.MetaType.getParentMetaSchema()" because "mt" is null)! Partial

We have to look into this - as far as I can remember, MySQL had some changes concerning GeoSpatial Data Types - but I have to check.

Meanwhile - what version of mysql are you using?

Thank you, that you are looking into it. I use MySQL Workbench 8.0.
