Unable to use sdelayer -o stats and sdelayer -o si_stats with ST_GEOMETRY layers

Description

When using the sdelayer -o si_stats command, for example, C:\>sdelayer -o si_stats -l us_states,shape -u test -p test -i 5151, the following error message is displayed:"Error: Underlying DBMS error (-51).
Error: Cannot get Map Layer Spatial Index Statistics for the layer
Underlying DBMS error"When using the sdelayer -o stats command, for example, C:\>sdelayer -o stats -l us_states,shape -u test -p test -i 5151, the following error message is displayed:"Error: Underlying DBMS error (-51).
Error: Cannot get Map Layer Statistics.
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist"

Cause

Using sdelayer -o stats and sdelayer -o si_stats commands does not work with ST_GEOMETRY layers.

Workaround

1. Setting the spatial index size to three times the size of the average edge of the feature envelope in the layer being indexed is a good practice for many data sets. The SQL query example below suggests a spatial index grid size to start with.
   

   Code:
   SQL> select (avg(((a.shape.maxx - a.shape.minx) + (a.shape.maxy - a.shape.miny)) / 2)) * 3 suggested_size from us_states a;
   
   SUGGESTED_SIZE
   --------------
       5878504.93
   

   
   
2. The SQL query example below returns results that are similar to the results that the 'sdelayer -o si_stats' command would return for a given layer.
   

   Code:
   SQL> select count(*) total_shapes ,
     2  (round (a.shape.maxx/5878505) -
     3  round (a.shape.minx/5878505) + 1) *
     4  (round (a.shape.maxy/5878505) -
     5  round (a.shape.miny/5878505) + 1) num_cells
     6  from us_states a
     7  group by (round (a.shape.maxx/5878505) -
     8  round (a.shape.minx/5878505) + 1) *
     9  (round (a.shape.maxy/5878505) -
    10  round (a.shape.miny/5878505) + 1)
    11  order by num_cells;
   
   TOTAL_SHAPES  NUM_CELLS
   ------------ ----------
              3          1
