It will eventually go away....just like logging in as svrmgrl
The started telling us in 7.2 (IIRC) that svrmgrl would eventually be phased out and that starting with 8i, we should be using sqlplus / as sysdba
Well, it stayed around until 9i when they no longer shipped it with the database....
Just trying to give you ample chane to hang yourself with it.....

According to Oracle LONG and LONG RAW data types are deprecated (in
Oracle8=3D
i) and "we" should convert them to appropriate LOB data types.
And there are procedures to convert them too...
The following SQL is run on a brand new (not upgraded from earlier
version)=3D
Oracle 10g 10.1.0.3 database:
system> select data_type, count(*)
2 from dba_tab_columns
3 where DATA_TYPE like 'LONG%'
4 and owner =3D3D 'SYS'
5* group by data_type
system> /
DATA_TYPE COUNT(*)
-------------------- ----------
LONG 209 LONG RAW 4
system_at_FTWT66OD> select * from v$version;
BANNER
system_at_FTWT66OD>
