Oracle Error ORA-54521: inner ring is not inside or is touching outer ring more than once

Oracle Error Message

ORA-54521: inner ring is not inside or is touching outer ring more than once

Reason for the Error

An inner ring either was not inside its outer ring or touched its outer ring more than once.

Solution

Ensure that the inner ring is inside its outer ring and does not touch the outer ring more than once. If an inner ring touches its outer ring more than once, then the outer ring is no longer a topologically simple or singly connected polygon (ring).
