Re: copy LONG RAW data with Oracle7

With the Oracle 7.x RDBMS, manipulating LONG and LONG RAW data really
needs to be done in a 3GL (C/C++/COBOL/Etc...) external to the RDBMS
itself. PL/SQL variables are limited to 32k in size, which
significantly restricts how much data you can move about this way.
With Oracle 8 (and LOB column types) you can do piecewise manipulation
of the LOB data in PL/SQL quite easily.
