Am I missing something? this works for me: create table testlong (c1 number,c2 long raw);
insert into testlong values (10,'0123456789abcdef'); declare m_c1 number; m_c2 varchar2(2000); begin select * into m_c1,m_c2 from testlong; dbms_output.put_line(m_c2); end; -----Original Message----- Sent: Sunday, September 01, 2002 3:48 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Dear List, This is what I'm trying to do in a stored procedure. 1) Read a long raw column from a table into a varchar2 variable. (Let's assume that each value contains a not-too-long text value.) 2) Parse it to create a bunch of insert statements and execute them. Step 2 is something I understand how to do. But, I've no clue how to do step 1. I've spent a few hours trying to figure out the tools I need for this. All my research turns up information on how to convert long raw to blob/clob etc. and the advantages of blob/clob over long raw and so on. My impression is that dealing with long raw is considered so basic that people don't even mention it :-) I'd appreciate any pointers.
