Last updated on MARCH 06, 2019

Applies to:

Symptoms

The geometries are compound polygons oriented counter-clockwise which is correct
These are valid geometries

Oracle reports error:

ORA-13367: wrong orientation for interior/exterior rings
Cause: In an Oracle Spatial geometry, the exterior and/or interior rings are not oriented correctly.
Action: Be sure that the exterior rings are oriented counterclockwise and the interior rings are oriented clockwise.

When they are valid geometries

RECTIFY_GEOMETRY would validate them but there should not be a need to run them through RECTIFY_GEOMETRY
