It looks like whats happening is that’s being converted into 3 Tokens and the oracle driver converts it into a number + comma + number.

The tokenizer is not treating that value as a single value.

Steve,

Rerun this with DEBUG 3 on the LAYER and the generated SQL will show up in your error logs. Then it should show why the generated sql is not valid.

Subject: Re: [mapserver-users] [EXTERNAL] Re: Mapserver 7+oracle - wfs getFeature with filter on numeric field

Thank you all for this discussion.
We had different problems in our use case coming from gdal, mapserv, oracle, ......
I don't know how gdal should manage this comma issue, but I would like to clarify our problem with mapserv and see if something must be done.

Resume
- We use MS7.1 with oraclespatial connection
- gml_type = auto, which returns <element name="LONG_STAT" minOccurs="0" type="double"/>
- matchCase =true
- LONG_STAT = -61,8031

The problem is
<ogc:PropertyIsEqualTo matchCase="true"><ogc:PropertyName>LONG_STAT</ogc:PropertyName><ogc:Literal>-61,8031</ogc:Literal></ogc:PropertyIsEqualTo>, crash with this error
<ows:Exception exceptionCode="NoApplicableCode" locator="mapserv">
   <ows:ExceptionText>msWFSGetFeature(): WFS server error. FLTApplyFilterToLayer() failed
msOracleSpatialLayerWhichShapes(): OracleSpatial error. Check your data statement and server logs</ows:ExceptionText>
 </ows:Exception>

But, using LIKE it Works ...Probably because it "convert" the value as a string
<ogc:PropertyIsLike matchCase="true" wildCard="*" singleChar="." escapeChar="!"><ogc:PropertyName>LONG_STAT</ogc:PropertyName><ogc:Literal>*-61,8031*</ogc:Literal></ogc:PropertyIsLike>

But why ogc:PropertyIsEqualTo is crashing?

Hi,

I think that the real trouble is that with certain database and client settings the numerical data that is stored into Oracle is not interpreted correctly and correct place to fix the issue is somewhere very close to Oracle. Not in making GML parser to accept commas or to make WFS string comparisons to work correctly with numerical data in Oracle.

GDAL had similar troubles for sure with Finnish, Italian and French locales and probably with all the other locales using comma as decimal separator as well. In practice it meant for me that GDAL truncated decimal numbers “1234,56” at comma “1234”. For many years I used some workarounds but after this GDAL fix it has not been necessary any more:
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/5709

I suggest to study the patch “'OCI: force NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS to ". " (patch by giorgiomugnaini, #5709)'” and consider if it could be applied to the native Oracle driver in Mapserver. I guess and hope that Mapserver would recognize the datatype correctly if the Oracle layer is configured to read Oracle through OGR and GDAL 2.0 is in use.

Perhaps setting environment "ALTER SESSION SET NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS = '. '" locally before starting Mapserver would be enough but I do not know how and where to set it.

Folks from gdal list also think that it is not supported...I guess you are right. But as I said on the gdal list, many countries are using a comma as a decimal separator....what other people on the planet do?
Anyway the comma is another problem that I try to manage later......

For now, We have an application that generate and launch spatial queries on WFS, matchCase=false by default. Before modifying the code I want to understand what is going on....
It seems,when using numeric value, that matchCase as no impact in PostGIS, but it is important in oracle to be set to true

gml_type = auto, returns double in postgis and oracle, so that is fine
A WFS getFeature with the operator PropertyIsEqualTo AND matchCase=false
using this value -64.225
PostGis: it works
Oracle (from mike's test): it fails...matchCase must be set to true

A WFS getFeature with the operator PropertyIsEqualTo AND matchCase=false
using this value -64,225
PotsGis: not tested
Oracle: it fails...matchCase must be set to true

Is there a reason why, with oracle, matchCase should be set to true when using numeric value, or that could be fixed?
Regards
Steve

Its not clear to me that commas as the decimal separator is supported in XML/GML. I can't find any documentation to indicate that it is. Can you point some out to me?

In any event, I didn't test with comma decimal separators.

Thanks Mike for having a look at it.
Your decimals are separated by a comma or a dot?

Steve,

I tested this out with 7.1 with numeric type fields and it works for me as long as I don't use matchCase="false". That seems to kick it in to a string comparison. matchCase="true" and just PropertyIsEqualTo work fine.

In our metadata we use "gml_types"   "auto" when the database knows the types and explicit declarations (eg "gml_attributename_type"   "integer") when it doesn't work.

The key is that the field type has to report as a numeric type or the backend treats it as a string comparison.
