Dennis,
PL/SQL cannot directly deal with longs > 32k.
There *is* a way to do with global temporary tables
and the to_lob() function, but it won't be nearly as
fast as just using 'copy'.

Subject: RE: Problem with LONG column
Babu - There are two ways I can think of to do this.
1. Write a small PL/SQL procedure.
2. Use the SQL*Plus COPY command.
You will probably use the method that is more familiar to you. Have you
used
either PL/SQL or SQL*Plus COPY before?

Hi everyone
One of my development team is working on ORACLE 8 on NT (Because of client
requirement they are working on that version). One Table was created with
wrong column name. Now they wanted me to correct the column name. But real
problem is one column of that table is LONG data type. So I was unable to
use
Insert into ... Select .... statement. Any suggestions in this regard
highly appreciated.
thanks
