[mapguide-users] [MapGuide OSE FDO Oracle SL-King 0.8.5] HolePolygon Type 7 Problem

[Jonio, Dennis (Aviation)]

I would contend that your "... polygon with hole have only one exterior
boundary and the geometry type is 7" is NOT a valid SDO_GEOMETRY and
does not fall w/in the specification. What you describe is in fact a
??03 sdo_gtype NOT a ??07. Have you validated the geometry via
SDO_GEOM.VALIDATE_GEOMETRY_WITH_CONTEXT? Oracle will certainly store the
invalid geometry.

You might wish to check out the Oracle spatial forum:

Some very, very bright folks prowl that forum.

I have no experience w/MGOS 2.0.2 service failure over a bad geometry so
I cannot speak to that.
