Symptoms

Errors raised when patching Oracle 19c database from 19.4.0 to19.6.0 - this issue is also relevant for databases created after 19.6 OJVMRU has been applied to the Oracle Home and end up with invalid MDSYS-owned java class objects.

This problem can be confirmed by attempting to load the following SDO jar file:

SQL> call dbms_java.loadjava('-resolve -force -synonym -schema MDSYS -grant PUBLIC md/jlib/sdoutl.jar');
call dbms_java.loadjava('-resolve -force -synonym -schema MDSYS -grant PUBLIC md/jlib/sdoutl.jar')
