As of ORA 19 there is a changed behavior in the function SDO_UTIL.GETVERTICES:
But the default result is not as in the previous versions and not as with DEFAULT value NULL:
--should return same as NULL (DEFAULT)
--not ok, returns only coordinates
SELECT *
FROM sdo_util.getvertices(sdo_geometry(2001, NULL, NULL, sdo_elem_info_array(1,1,1,3,1,0), sdo_ordinate_array(10,10,0.5,0.866)));
--NULL as parameter include_oriented_pt
--returns both the coordinates and the orientation vector
--ok
SELECT *
FROM sdo_util.getvertices(sdo_geometry(2001, NULL, NULL, sdo_elem_info_array(1,1,1,3,1,0), sdo_ordinate_array(10,10,0.5,0.866)),NULL);
--returns only the coordinates of the vertices
--ok
SELECT *
FROM sdo_util.getvertices(sdo_geometry(2001, NULL, NULL, sdo_elem_info_array(1,1,1,3,1,0), sdo_ordinate_array(10,10,0.5,0.866)),0);

So we have to reprogram the "legacy"-code
