Hi,
In Oracle the geometry type is definided only when declared the spatial
index-type.
It is different from postgis where the geometry-type is definited when
you define the column.
So say-ing "SDO_Geometry" mean "generic geometry" and could mean "Polygon"
Infact oracle say the data-type is SDO_Geometry and the
sdo_topo.initialize_metadata
procedure creates a spatial_index on this column. Most probably the
procedure create a spatial-index
for polygons types.

Andrea.
