Spatial query index creation fails with ORA-13282: failure on initializatio

Question

Hi,
I have an Oracle 10g 10.2.0.5.0 database newly installed. Spatial index creation fails:
ORA-29855: error occurred in the execution of ODCIINDEXCREATE routine
ORA-13282: failure on initialization of coordinate transformation
ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.SDO_INDEX_METHOD_10I", line 10
The script I am trying to run is:
Insert into USER_SDO_GEOM_METADATA
(TABLE_NAME, COLUMN_NAME, DIMINFO, SRID)
Values
('SOME_TABLE', 'geo',
"SDO_DIM_ARRAY"(
"SDO_DIM_ELEMENT"('X',600000,900000,0.001),
"SDO_DIM_ELEMENT"('Y',150000,400000,0.001)), 23700);
CREATE INDEX IX_GEO_SOME_TABLE ON SOME_TABLE (GEO) INDEXTYPE IS MDSYS.SPATIAL_INDEX ;
Earlier I had some issues with NLS settings in relation to Spatial, but in this particular case setting the NLS_LANG for AMERICAN_AMERICA does not help. I found this comment http://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/127312/2/ but would not like to hack around with MDSYS table content. Any help is highly appreciated.

Answer 1

Tamas,
1 . . .Are you indexing a table that already has geometries or an empty table?
. . . .If the former, do all the geometries in that table have the same (not NULL) SRID (23700)?
2 . .The link you posted suggests a parsing problem since in Hungarian (23700), the decimal seperator is a comma (not a period). Accordingly, I believe the edit to mdsys.sdo_cs_srs.WKTEXT would be:
PROJCS["HD72 / EOV", GEOGCS [ "HD72", DATUM ["Hungarian Datum 1972 (EPSG ID 6237)", SPHEROID ["GRS 1967 (EPSG ID 7036)", 6378160, 298,247167427]], PRIMEM [ "Greenwich", 0,000000 ], UNIT ["Decimal Degree", 0,01745329251994328]], PROJECTION ["Egyseges Orszagos Vetuleti (EPSG OP 19931)"], UNIT ["Meter", 1]]
