Number of options are present. Spool to text file and load LOBs by reading from such file. Move to LONG columns, if possible, then use TO_LOB to move data into LOB fields. A long shot, but Oracle used to ship this thing called Migration Assistant for Access. Having not seen it, I don't know if it is of any use, but could be worth a shot.

That is what I am trying to do now.... the only problem I see is that this is over a linked DB to Access over HSODBC and it looks like the calls aren't supported. What about populating some variables then writing them to the CLOB's ... hmmm adam -----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, February 16, 2001 3:16 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Adam, You will most likely need to use dbms_lob package. It has few nifty functions for dealing with lobs/clobs Gary -----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, February 16, 2001 2:11 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi listers. I have a question on migrating some data. I am tryign to get some remote data into an 8.1.7 NT install and running into trouble with CLOBS. Ideally I need to do an INSERT INTO TABLE2 SELECT CLOB1, CLOB2, VARCHAR2) Is this possible? I am getting an error that looks a lot like this is not an acceptable LONG operation. thanks for any advice. adam -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Adam Turner INET: ATurner@concreteinc.com Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: ListGuru@fatcity.com (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
