[Mapserver-users] Oracle spatial error - off topic to mapserver

[Tomko]

HI,
Sorry for bothering this list, but I am really hopeless. You can write
me directly to avoid spamming the list, if you can help me... PLEASE"

 I am (still)in troubles with Oracle Spatial and I do not 
 know how to get out of them... 

from the beginning I have a strange error occuring - I cannot creat
spatial indices!!! So also the mapserver oraclespatial connection
doesn't work well with the USING SRID... way, I have to do the double
select... And this 
 show as a crucial limitation when I want to use it with other tools
(ArcSDE) or for 
 performance reasons... Maybe you could give me a hint?? here is the
error 
 message (and a sample procedure leading to it): 
 

 CREATE TABLE body (CBODU NUMBER PRIMARY KEY,NAZOV VARCHAR (32),X
NUMBER,Y 
 NUMBER,Z NUMBER,TOPO VARCHAR (32),GEOM MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY);

 MDSYS.SDO_DIM_ELEMENT('Z', 0, 1000, 0.005)),

 );

I have also tried to reinstall Oracle for it, but I am having the same
error. The installation did not report any error. I am encountering a
similar error when trying to create spatial tables with ESRI ArcSDE, or
even working with a XML database. I suspect that it is a problem with
the ODCIIndex cartridge or something like that, according to the forums.
I am running a windows version of Oracle 9.2.0.1, a developper version
downloaded from the otn. I am running a Windows 2003 server and I have
updated the universal installer and applied the patch. I did not do any
changes to the MDSYS user, just unlocked it. I was connected as sys.

I have found something about a "catpatch procedure"
But did not run this...

 Thanks a lot!
