Renaming a table in Oracle that contains an st_geometry attribute: ORA-01403: no data found

Description

Renaming a table in Oracle with ArcCatalog, which contains a st_geometry attribute without a spatial index, fails with the following underlying DBMS error:

"ORA-01403: no data found".

Cause

When the rename operation is performed, ArcSDE calls the sde.st_geom_cols_util.update_gcol_table procedure to update metadata in the sde.st_geometry_columns and sde.st_geometry_index tables. When no index is present on the st_geometry attribute, a cursor querying the st_geometry_index table returns no rows, causing the operation to fail.
