Determine if the st_geometry type in Oracle is the same in two different Oracle instances

Summary

Prior to ArcGIS 9.3, when creating a geodatabase in Oracle, and the st_geometry type and subtypes are created, their type OID values were not explicitly set. Without setting a defined value, Oracle will randomly generate a type OID value (which will be different in all Oracle instances).Starting with ArcGIS 9.3, when a geodatabase and the st_geometry type are created, ArcGIS now specifically sets the type OID value.If the st_geometry type OID values are not the same between Oracle instances, a table with an st_geometry attribute cannot be exported and the data cannot be imported into a second instance (because the type definition is technically different). There is a known limitation in Oracle that one cannot ALTER a type's OID value after it has been defined.

Procedure

Code:
SQL> SELECT type_name, type_oid
  2  FROM user_types
  3  ORDER BY type_name;
