Hi,

I used the sdo_geom.sdo_area function on some polygons in my database.

The result is a negative number, the absolute value seems to be right.

At a first glance, I did not find anything on this in the docs. Is this
maybe due to a wrong direction (clockwise vs. counter-clockwise) of the
points?

If so, is this "bad" apart from the negative area values?
