Note about removing Spatial
(Oracle 19c on RHEL)
FYI
If you intend to use
Steps for Manual De-installation of Oracle Spatial/Locator (Doc ID 179472.1)
to remove Spatial, please remove Semantic support first, by running as sys
@?/md/admin/semremov.sql
which is from
Package SYS.SDO_RDF_EXP_IMP after removing Spatial (Doc ID 2448675.1)
The authors of these two documents are not well coordinated. If you only follow the first document, a full database expdp will throw errors related to SYS.SDO_RDF_EXP_IMP (probably due to Bug 12897952). If you follow the first document first and then remove Semantic, running semremov.sql will throw lots of errors, even though SYS.SDO_RDF_EXP_IMP appears to be cleaned (not just dropped, but the rows in data pump related internal tables are deleted). But due to these errors, it's hard to tell if there will be any consequence down the road.
