How does Radius Topology™ work?
Radius Topology™ is deployed as a DLL or Shared object on the database server, along with some PL/SQL packages and a Java administration tool. When you set up Radius Topology™, you specify which tables of your data should be topologically structured, and how the data in these tables should interact and snap together. You then run a structuring process, which snaps the data together and creates topological information. Structuring the data together removes misalignments such as gaps, slivers, overshoots and undershoots. It also identifies any geometric errors such as spikes, kickbacks or duplicate points. The topological information can then be used to perform ultra-fast queries on your data, or powerful quality checks, such as identifying missing polygons, or finding pipes that are unconnected. Since Triggers are placed on you data tables, any subsequent edits to the data cause the data to be automatically snapped and cleaned on-the-fly, and the topological information is automatically
