You'll need to post more code. Although you do have to use LongReadLen in
this situation, this
is not why you are getting errors.
Post more code:-)

Subject: LongReadLen use
I have a query that is pulling a LONG field from an Oracle DB. I
received
the following error: illegal use of LONG datatype .....
I found information on LongReadLen in the cheetah book, but I'm still a
bit
confused as to the syntax or exactly how to implement the attribute.
After
searching Google, I found the following examples but none of them are
working:
my $dbh = DBI->connect($data_source,"foo","bar",{LongReadLen => 4000})
$dbh->LongReadLen(4000);
$dbh->{LongReadLen} = 4000;
The first two don't change the error message at all. The third gives me
the following message: Can't locate object method "LongReadLen" via
package "DBI:db" (perhaps you forgot to load "DBI::db"?)
Just in case it's needed....
Oracle 8.1.7
Perl 5.6.1
DBI 1.28
DBD::Oracle 1.6
Any suggestions?
