- Update the table by using either PL/SQL or 3gls.
If the LONG is always 32k or less you can do this in plsql.
If it may exceed 32k in size, plsql *cannot* manipulate it in
any way shape or form.
If the long is 32k or less, you simply declare a variable of
type LONG :
declare
my_var long;
begin
....
and then you can select into it:
...
select my_long_column into my_var from T where condition;
...
Use Update here to update the value selected into the new column.
end;

If I have a table that has a fields of type long, how can I
move the data to
a varchar2(300)?
Thanks,
