ST_GeomFromText: invalid identifier

Phil ScovisOct 24 2019 — edited Oct 31 2019

I'm new to this, so I assume I'm making some kind of mistake, but I can't find it.

This is in Oracle.  The following works:

update gis.testdata set point=

  sde.st_point (1,2,4326)

where testdatakey=35;

And the following doesn't work:

update gis.testdata set point=

  sde.st_geomfromtext ('point(1 2)',4326)

where testdatakey=35;

The error I receive is:

SQL Error: ORA-00904: "SDE"."ST_GEOMFROMTEXT": invalid identifier

This syntax is supported in just about every example page I can find, it just doesn't work for me. I really want to use a function that just accepts the WKT.  What am I missing here?  Thanks for any help.
