  • Alteryx Designer
    • All versions
  • Oracle database
    • 12c +
    • ST_Geometry data type


 

Cause


  • The table containing the spatial data is stored using the ST_Geometry data type.
  • Related to an internal Oracle error. For further information on the Oracle error please see Oracle's Metalink Note:49375.1.


Resolution


 

Workaround

Convert the Table or View to use the SDO_Geometry data type instead and create a new input tool to connect to the new Oracle object. Consult an Oracle DBA for assistance. See the Oracle documentation for more information.
