Alex,
You are always right, in a very special way ;-)
But I do export a table using direct=y. The table has a LONG RAW column (not
a LONG, though).
It is in a 7.3.4.3 database on AIX. It works.
See:
Connected to: Oracle7 Server Release 7.3.4.3.0 - Production
With the distributed and parallel query options
PL/SQL Release 2.3.4.3.0 - Production
Export done in US7ASCII character set
About to export specified tables via Direct Path ...
. . exporting table BLOB 549 rows exported
Export terminated successfully without warnings.
HTH,
Best Regards,
