Problem creating spatial index(ora 29855) on 10g 2r

Question

hello i use oracle 10g r2 and have problems by creating my index (ora 29855).
The weird thing is that similar kinds of creating indices make one time problems and in the other time not ???
First example - it's no problem to create this index and everything is fine
create table map_image(
img_id number(5),
img blob,
geom mdsys.sdo_geometry);
create index map_image_idx on map_image(geom) indextype is mdsys.spatial_index;
Second example- spit the ora 29855 error out and following ora 13203
create table SCHIFFSPOSITION(
ship_id                              VARCHAR(10)NOT NULL,
system_date_der_1                DATE      ,
system_time_der_1                VARCHAR(8),
geom                          SDO_GEOMETRY);
create index schiffsposition_idx on schiffsposition(geom) indextype is mdsys.spatial_index;
Thank you very much for help

Answer 1

Are you missing metadata? This works just fine:
SQL> DROP TABLE map_image;
Table dropped.
SQL> DROP TABLE schiffsposition;
Table dropped.
SQL> DELETE FROM MDSYS.user_sdo_geom_metadata;
2 rows deleted.
SQL> CREATE TABLE map_image(
2 img_id NUMBER(5),
3 img BLOB,
4 geom MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY);
Table created.
SQL> INSERT INTO MDSYS.user_sdo_geom_metadata
2 VALUES ('MAP_IMAGE', 'GEOM',
3 sdo_dim_array (sdo_dim_element ('Longitude', -180, 180, .05),
4 sdo_dim_element ('Latitude', -90, 90, .05),
5 sdo_dim_element ('Elevation', -11000, 9000, .05)
6 ),
7 8307);
1 row created.
SQL> CREATE INDEX map_image_idx ON map_image(geom) INDEXTYPE IS MDSYS.spatial_index;
Index created.
SQL> CREATE TABLE schiffsposition(
2 ship_id VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL,
3 system_date_der_1 DATE ,
4 system_time_der_1 VARCHAR(8),
5 geom SDO_GEOMETRY);
Table created.
SQL> INSERT INTO MDSYS.user_sdo_geom_metadata
2 VALUES ('SCHIFFSPOSITION', 'GEOM',
3 sdo_dim_array (sdo_dim_element ('Longitude', -180, 180, .05),
4 sdo_dim_element ('Latitude', -90, 90, .05),
5 sdo_dim_element ('Elevation', -11000, 9000, .05)
6 ),
7 8307);
1 row created.
SQL> CREATE INDEX schiffsposition_idx ON schiffsposition(geom) INDEXTYPE IS MDSYS.spatial_index;
Index created.
