Hi all, I keep getting small differences in calculating the area of a feature. Using the geometryservice (with a geometry from FeatureService) from the esri API (3.17), the result of an area calculation differs slightly from running ST_AREA(SHAPE) directly on my Oracle database. Parameters used (spatial reference, polygons etc.) are all the same. Any ideas what could be causing this?

Do you have an example? Do both actually do a calculation with the same numeric representation?
