Pitfall: Upgrade to 21c fails when ORDIM is present but no SDO

You may have read my previous blog post about Upgrading a non-CDB to Oracle Database 21c. And I referred to a potential Pitfall: Upgrade to 21c fails when ORDIM is present but no SDO. In this blog post I would like to explain how to avoid this pitfall beforehand and explain what needs to be done.

After patching, Spatial Index creation fails with ORA-13249

Posted on August 4, 2021 by Mike.Dietrich Flaws and Pitfalls 10

Thanks again to Peter Lehmann from T-Systems for highlighting this issue to me. After patching, Spatial Index creation fails with ORA-13249. And Peter’s customer was quite worried. But see what may have caused this, and how we fixed it.

What happened?

Peter patched a system from 19.10.0 to 19.11.0. This database has undergone an upgrade from 12.2.0.1 to 19.7.0 before, then got patched to 19.9.0 before.

Issues with seed databases, patch bundles and OJVM in 19c

Posted on February 18, 2020 by Mike.Dietrich Flaws and Pitfalls JVM 11

I really rely on people telling me about issues they saw. And in this case, it happened twice within a few days. At OOW London, a customer came after my talk and told me about invalid objects and an incredible long recompilation time. In fact, he had to apply an OJVM patch in order to solve this. When I returned home, Jure commented on the blog about a very similar issue. I spent some time on the weekend to check it out. And I realized: There are issues with prebuilt seed databases and OJVM in 19c.

APEX is invalid after upgrading to 12.2 – ORA-20001

Posted on February 11, 2020 by Mike.Dietrich APEX Flaws and Pitfalls 0

We are running the AutoUpgrade-for-RAC beta test since last week. And the first issue one customer encountered … is neither an AutoUpgrade nor a RAC issue. It has to do with APEX and SPATIAL, and missing grants. APEX is invalid after upgrading to 12.2 – ORA-20001

Oracle Spatial (SDO) Clean Up in Oracle Database 11.2-19c

Posted on July 30, 2017 by Mike.Dietrich Removal 26

Oracle Spatial (SDO) clean up in Oracle Database 11.2-19c is mostly straight forward. You can do it with the database up and running in Oracle Database 12c. Nevertheless it is very important that you check beforehand if Spatial and/or Graph are in use.

Be positively aware:
Since December 5, 2019, Oracle Spatial and Graph are both included automatically in all database licenses back to Oracle 11.2.0.4, for EE as well as for SE2. Generally. Read more here: https://mikedietrichde.com/2019/12/06/great-license-news-spatial-and-graph-machine-learning/
