OracleDataStore may try to determine specific Geometry types
------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: GEOT-743
         URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-743
     Project: GeoTools
        Type: Improvement
  Components: oraclespatial  
    Versions: 2.2.M1    
 Reporter: Paolo Rizzi
 Assigned to: Sean Geoghegan 
     Fix For: 2.2.M2


The Oracle ALL_SDO_GEOM_METADATA contains metadata about all
the Geometry columns in all tables, but it doesn't store a specific Geometry 
type,
so there's no way to tell up-front the type of a given column.
Each column can contain a mix of different Geometries (Points, Polygons, etc.).
The OracleDataStore may try to determine to exact Geometry type by looking
at the Geometry stored in the first record.
This has two drawbacks, the first is about speed, the second is that a table
may be empty.
Or we can add a metadata table of our own to store such an information,
or maybe there're other ways that I don't know of...

Bye
Paolo Rizzi
