Multi-part geometries: Get line & part number when extracting parts (via SDO_UTIL.EXTRACT_ALL)

Question

I have multi-part SDO_GEOMETRIES in Oracle 18c.

I can extract the parts as individual rows using the SDO_UTIL.EXTRACT_ALL() function:

with cte as (
--Each part is wrapped in brackets and separated by commas: (p1),(p2)
select sdo_geometry('MULTILINESTRING((1 1 1, 2 2 2),(3 3 3, 4 4 4))')    as shape from dual union all --3D: (X,Y,Z)
select sdo_geometry('MULTILINESTRING((5 5, 6 6),(7 7, 8 8),(9 9, 0 0))') as shape from dual union all --2D: (X,Y)
select sdo_geometry('MULTILINESTRING((1 1, 2 2))')                       as shape from dual           --2D: (X,Y)
    )
select
    a.object_value,
    sdo_util.to_wktgeometry(a.object_value)
from
    cte,
    table(sdo_util.extract_all(shape)) a

OBJECT_VALUE         SDO_UTIL.TO_WKTGEOMETRY(A.OBJECT_VALUE)

I want to add the following columns to the query:

• MULTILINE_NUM (the original multi-part line number)
• PART_NUM

MULTILINE_NUM PART_NUM OBJECT_VALUE         SDO_UTIL.TO_WKTGEOMETRY(A.OBJECT_VALUE)                               

------------- -------- -------------------- ---------------------------------------
            1        1 [MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY] LINESTRING (1.0 1.0 1.0, 2.0 2.0 2.0)                                           
            1        2 [MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY] LINESTRING (3.0 3.0 3.0, 4.0 4.0 4.0)                                           
            2        1 [MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY] LINESTRING (5.0 5.0, 6.0 6.0)                                                   
            2        2 [MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY] LINESTRING (7.0 7.0, 8.0 8.0)                                                   
            2        3 [MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY] LINESTRING (9.0 9.0, 0.0 0.0)                                                   
            3        1 [MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY] LINESTRING (1.0 1.0, 2.0 2.0)

When adding those columns, I don't want to "fake it" after-the-fact using window functions, etc.

I want to extract that information directly from the geometries, to ensure the numbers are correct (i.e., part number shouldn't be arbitrary; it should reflect the part number order from the original geometry).

Is there a way to get the MULTILINE_NUM and PART_NUM from the table(sdo_util.extract_all(shape)) query?

Adapting my answer to your previous question, you can use:

with cte (shape) as (
  --Each part is wrapped in brackets and separated by commas: (p1),(p2)
  select sdo_geometry('MULTILINESTRING((1 1 1, 2 2 2),(3 3 3, 4 4 4))')    from dual union all --3D: (X,Y,Z)
  select sdo_geometry('MULTILINESTRING((5 5, 6 6),(7 7, 8 8),(9 9, 0 0))') from dual union all --2D: (X,Y)
  select sdo_geometry('MULTILINESTRING((1 1, 2 2))')                       from dual           --2D: (X,Y)
)
select c.multiline_num,
       e.part_no,
       sdo_util.to_wktgeometry(e.elem)
from   ( SELECT ROWNUM AS multiline_num,
                shape
         FROM   cte
       ) c
       CROSS JOIN LATERAL (
         SELECT LEVEL AS part_no,
                SDO_UTIL.EXTRACT(c.shape, LEVEL) AS elem
         FROM   DUAL
         CONNECT BY LEVEL <= SDO_UTIL.GETNUMELEM(c.shape)
       ) e;

Which outputs:

MULTILINE_NUM	PART_NO	SDO_UTIL.TO_WKTGEOMETRY(E.ELEM)
1	1	LINESTRING (1.0 1.0 1.0, 2.0 2.0 2.0)
1	2	LINESTRING (3.0 3.0 3.0, 4.0 4.0 4.0)
2	1	LINESTRING (5.0 5.0, 6.0 6.0)
2	2	LINESTRING (7.0 7.0, 8.0 8.0)
2	3	LINESTRING (9.0 9.0, 0.0 0.0)
3	1	LINESTRING (1.0 1.0, 2.0 2.0)

Or, using SDO_UTIL.EXTRACT_ALL:

with cte (shape) as (
  --Each part is wrapped in brackets and separated by commas: (p1),(p2)
  select sdo_geometry('MULTILINESTRING((1 1 1, 2 2 2),(3 3 3, 4 4 4))')    from dual union all --3D: (X,Y,Z)
  select sdo_geometry('MULTILINESTRING((5 5, 6 6),(7 7, 8 8),(9 9, 0 0))') from dual union all --2D: (X,Y)
  select sdo_geometry('MULTILINESTRING((1 1, 2 2))')                       from dual           --2D: (X,Y)
)
select c.multiline_num,
       e.part_no,
       sdo_util.to_wktgeometry(e.elem)
from   ( SELECT ROWNUM AS multiline_num,
                shape
         FROM   cte
       ) c
       CROSS JOIN LATERAL (
         SELECT ROWNUM AS part_no,
                a.object_value AS elem
         FROM   TABLE(SDO_UTIL.EXTRACT_ALL(c.shape)) a
       ) e;

Which outputs the same.
