I have to create a database using oracle and apex which displays images and can produce a search based on locations.
everything was going great till I got to the point of producing a search based on location (i.e. postcodes). I am new to oracle and have never encountered sdo_geometry before and don't even know how to start :s
I have read up on the subject but it is not helping all I have been able to do so far is make shapes, how does that help me find how far away CV34 is from my current location.
any hints of how to start would be greatly appreciated, even some dummy guide on the basics just to help me find my feet.
