Oracle Spatial is missing in HTML Manuals

[michaelbell]

Searching in HTML manuals is very handy. But looking through the list of books, I can't find the "Oracle Spatial User's Guide and Reference". It's in the Oracle HTML manuals in subdirectory \appdev.920\a96630.
Is there a way to add this book to the PL/SQL Developer HTML Manuals by hand?

This problem seems to be caused by an invorrect title in the table of contents. If you open the file toc.htm in the \appdev.920\a96630 directory in a plain text editor like notepad, you will see a line like this:

Table of Contents

Replace this line with:

Oracle Spatial User's Guide and Reference

Now you can rebuild the index to include this manual.

We'll try to address this in the next release.

Thanks for reply. I did, as you suggested. The book now shows up in the list after rebuilding the index.
But it's not used for searching when I activate it. Looking in subdirectory \Books of PL/SQL Developer shows up several index files with a size of 0 bytes. "Book34.idx" is one of them and the Oracle Spatial book is placed on #35 in the list...
So there seems to be another problem. Any further suggestions?

Hmm, this book does not conform to the Oracle standards. I will check it out, but I doubt that this can easily be resolved by changing the document. It probably requires a patch.
