That's fine! Perhaps the Oracle SQL Mode of MaxDB may help you a little
in porting the application.

MaxDB has the LONG BYTE type for binary data, and the LONG ASCII/LONG UNICODE types
for character data. Both can grow up to 2GB in the content.

There is no such thing like indexing/searching in LONG data 
within MaxDB, sorry.

There is the possibility to create DB Procedures written in a procedural 
language - please e.g. look at  

http://www.mysql.com/documentation/maxdb/a7/41ee11605911d3a98800a0c9449261/content.htm

for the syntax.
