Hi gurus,
I need to transfer a few tables from SqlServer to Oracle. I've installed Heteroegous Service between the SqlServer and our Oracle database according to the Metalink doc no : 109730.1

I began the transfer between those two databases with this kind of statement :
create table TableA as select * from TableA_at_hsodbc;

But now I have a problem with the tables on the SqlServer side that contain columns of the Text datatype. Oracle wants to handle it as a LONG datatype. I received this kind of errors :

ORA-00997 : illegal use of LONG database

What should I do ?

TIA Luc
