Spatial Stored Proc Causing ORA-29902

Question

Good afternoon,
I am getting an Oracle exception thrown when I try to run a spatial stored procedure.
ORA-29902: error in executing ODCIIndexStart() routine
ORA-13203: failed to read USER_SDO_GEOM_METADATA table
ORA-13203: failed to read USER_SDO_GEOM_METADATA table
ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.SDO_INDEX_METHOD_9I", line 368
ORA-06512: at line 1
Prepared Statement:
SELECT s.length,
s.lki_segment_ext_id,
sg.lki_segment_number,
sg.geometry segment_geometry,
h.highway_number || h.highway_letter highway,
h.description highway_description
FROM cis_lki_segment_node_ext sn,
cis_lki_segment_ext s,
cis_lki_segment_geometry_ext sg,
cis_lki_highway_lki_segment hs,
cis_lki_highway_ext h
WHERE sn.lki_segment_node_ext_id = s.begin_lki_segment_node_ext_id
AND s.lki_segment_ext_id = hs.lki_segment_ext_id
AND hs.lki_highway_ext_id = h.lki_highway_ext_id
AND sg.lki_segment_number = s.segment_number
AND sn.version_id = in_lki_version_id
AND sg.version_id = in_geometry_version_id
AND hs.primary_highway_flag = 'Y'
AND SDO_RELATE(sg.geometry, in_geometry, 'mask=ANYINTERACT querytype=WINDOW') = 'TRUE';
I have been able to run this query successfully in a SQL window. The odd thing is that if I remove the "AND hs.primary_highway_flag = 'Y'" clause from the Procedure it then works fine.
I have also tried a sub select of the table(s) in the FROM part and same results. works great in SQL not at all as a Procedure.
I even swapped out the PRIMARY_HIGHWAY_FLAG with another string compare from the same table and the error message was the same.
Does Spatial have some problems dealing with string parsing?

No Vicky,
We still have the same problem and our workaround was to return the value we were filtering on and handle it on the Java side.
sgreener, (sorry I did not reply earlier I was pulled off onto another project)
The in_geometry is passed into the procedure. It looks for features from a user defined area.
Albert, I have had our in house Oracle guru look this over and he does not get it either. He has re-worked it a couple of times running it through explain plan and like I had said, as a sql statement it works great but when we plug it in as a stored proc then it does not work
As for As for Oracle version we are currently using 9i (9.0.4)
I am a GIS developer so I am quite familiar with how Geometry is/ can be handled while our Oracle guru, while an old hat at it is new to working with Spatial data. So in this case we are both at a loss.
