Hi all,
for an upcoming project I will store point geometries in a Oracle DB. This
DB will serve as a data store for GeoServer which will be used for WMS
Requests. As I understand it Oracle handles the bounding box calculations
(on behalf of GeoServer), when there is a WMS request for certain features
in a bbox. In Oracle there seem to be two function for this: SDO_RELATE
(which is in Locator version) and SDO_GEOM.RELATE (available only in Oracle
Spatial). Which one is used by GeoServer?
I found this relevant link on the question (from 2012):
http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/36751/querying-intersecting-areas-areas-oracle-locator-or-spatial
In the answer it says:
*I once had to trace a GeoServer WMS query in Oracle and I'm pretty sure
it used the SDO_RELATE approach, but you might want to verify this using
your own trace, scanning through the GeoServer source, or posting a
question on the GeoServer users mailing list*
Since I am not sure, I thought I’d just ask here 
We use SDO_RELATE. When I have to make Oracle tests, I normally do them
against a Oracle XE, which, as far as I know, does not have a full Oracle
Spatial inside, and all appears to work fine.
Cheers
Andrea
