If you have sqlplus and set long to at least the length of your longest actual long value, then you can use the sqlplus copy command (subject to other possible type limitations).
Do be advised that sqlplus copy will silently truncate any longs transmitted to the actual length or the long setting, whichever is shorter.

Subject: RE: Data Pump over NETWORK_LINK
Mr. Goulet and I had some further discussion and ran some tests and found that impdp can indeed move a LONG column *definition* over a network link, but it can't move any LONG *data*. So, if you have a table with a LONG column, you should be able to move it if there isn't any data in that column, however if even one row has data in the LONG column, then it will fail with the following error:
"ORA-31679: Table data object "<username>"."<table_name>" has long columns, and longs can not be loaded/unloaded using a network link"
I also found another Metalink Note documenting this restriction: 553337.1
The workaround is to use regular file-based data pump - it does support LONGs, just not over a network link.

Brandon
