title: ORACLE SDO_GEOMETRY ToString()?
body: <p>I have a .Net system that I am writing which needs to be able to retrieve an oracle geometry field from the database. Is there any way in my SQL statement to cast the geometry type to a string so that I can deal with it on my .Net side. At the moment I cannot get the data out as it is not a valid datatype to put into my OLEDB reader so it must be converted database side.</p>
  
  <pre><code>select CS_BOUNDS from MDSYS.CS_SRS where SRID = 4326
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
