Getting ORA-13000 error using SDO_DISTANCE.

Question

Hi!
I am having problem executing query with SDO_DISTANCE function.
System is Windows XP SP2, Oracle 10g latest version.
First tables creation codes:
CREATE TABLE BUILDINGS
B_NUM NUMBER CONSTRAINT C_PK_BUILDINGS PRIMARY KEY,
BUILDING MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY,
B_INFO VARCHAR2(20)
CREATE TABLE TREES
T_NUM NUMBER CONSTRAINT C_PK_TREES PRIMARY KEY,
TREE MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY,
T_INFO VARCHAR2(20)
Now metadata:
INSERT INTO USER_SDO_GEOM_METADATA
(TABLE_NAME, COLUMN_NAME, DIMINFO, SRID)
VALUES
'BUILDINGS', 'BUILDING',
MDSYS.SDO_DIM_ARRAY(
MDSYS.SDO_DIM_ELEMENT('X', 0, 230, 0.05),
MDSYS.SDO_DIM_ELEMENT('Y', 0, 120, 0.05)),
NULL
INSERT INTO USER_SDO_GEOM_METADATA
(TABLE_NAME, COLUMN_NAME, DIMINFO, SRID)
VALUES
'TREES', 'TREE',
MDSYS.SDO_DIM_ARRAY(MDSYS.SDO_DIM_ELEMENT('X', 0, 230, 0.05),
MDSYS.SDO_DIM_ELEMENT('Y', 0, 120, 0.05)),
NULL
Finaly, the query:
SELECT SDO_GEOM.SDO_DISTANCE(A.BUILDING, B.TREE, 0.005)
FROM BUILDINGS A, TREES B
WHERE A.B_NUM = 2 AND B.T_NUM = 3;
I must add that I have tried various variants, but always receive the same error: ORA-13000 dimension number is out of range
The data I've entered was new and entered.manually, so no problems with old data migration or anything like this. Here are input examples:
INSERT INTO TREES VALUES
     1,
     MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY
          3,
          NULL,
          NULL,
          MDSYS.SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1, 3, 4),
          MDSYS.SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(67, 105, 79, 99, 80, 111)
     'TREE1'
INSERT INTO BUILDINGS VALUES
1,
MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY
          3,
          NULL,
          NULL,
          MDSYS.SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1, 3, 1),
     MDSYS.SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(5, 56, 5, 116, 64, 116, 64,56)
'Hall');
Thanks for any info!

Answer 1

You are using the 8.1.5 format for your geometry data, you've specified your data incorrectly.
Use the 8.1.6 and higher format for your data:
MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY
2003,
NULL,
NULL,
MDSYS.SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1,1003, 4),
MDSYS.SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(67, 105, 79, 99, 80, 111)
This assumes the geometry above is an optimized circle.
MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY
2003,
NULL,
NULL,
MDSYS.SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1, 1003, 1),
MDSYS.SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(5, 56, 5, 116, 64, 116, 64,56, 5,56)
Note the last ordinate has to match the first for this polygon.
