Cause

There is an invalid binding specification within the 'sdeexport' command; therefore the SQL statement cannot fetch the data in the order of the spatial index, which results in the underlying DBMS error.

Workaround

To avoid the error and work around the problem, do not specify the -O option when executing the command. The features will be successfully exported, but will not be exported in the order of the spatial index.
