Creating a data warehouse using data extraction - Oracle d/b to Oracle d/b.
Some data is in a table is in Long datatype - need to extract and insert in
varchar2 column.



Would like to use one select statement eg



Insert into xxxx (varchar_data, ...


Select substr(long_data,1,100) from xxxx  => get error



Any thoughts on creating a function convert long to varchar2 (input
long_data output varchar2??
