Use a cursor. Select the data into the cursor from 'x' and then insert it
into 'y'.
-----------------------------------------------
CREATE TABLE Y (
Y_ID NUMBER(10),
Y_LONG LONG,
);
--
cursor x_cursor is
select
X_ID
, X_LONG
from X;
--
BEGIN
For Y_ROW IN X_CURSOR LOOP
INSERT INTO Y
(
Y_ID
,Y_LONG
)
VALUES
(
Y_ROW.X_ID
,Y_ROW.X_LONG
);
END LOOP;
END;

Please
respond to
ORACLE-L
Hi,
I have a table 'x' with one of the column as 'LONG'
I would like to copy the data from the above table 'x' into a different
table 'Y' with the same structure.
When I tried "insert into x select * from y" I am getting
"Illegal use of LONG data type".
Could any one please help me to move the data?
Thanks
Sridhar.
