David,

 

I have tried that with no luck.  All my features are oracle_area.  Here is the error log from my original workbench:

Translation FAILED.

 

 

Don't know where to go from here.

 

 

Thanks,

Hi,

 

 

if your geometries are of type SDO_GEOMETRY (Oracle spatial), you could try something like

 

 

SELECT * FROM my_polygons a WHERE a.geometry.sdo_gtype = 3007;

 

 

You can either put this into a SQLCreator or execute it from e.g. SQLDeveloper, TOAD, etc.

David,

 

Thanks for that tip.  It didnt solve the problem directly but put me on to another approach.

 

 

Cheers,

The query is: 

SELECT 
    A.<GEOMETRY_COLUMN>.GET_DIMS()
    || A.<GEOMETRY_COLUMN>.GETLRS_DIM() 
    || '0' 
    || A.<GEOMETRY_COLUMN>.GET_GTYPE() AS SDO_GTYPE
FROM 
    <SPATIAL_TABLE> A;

The methods will not work unless you use an alias.
