I am running oracle 8i and 9i....i have a java program that uses JDBC to connect to the database. My question is (application question) is that i would like to do a "insert into....select ... statement".....however i have a column in the table that is Long and HAS to be long (meaning i cant reduced it down to varchar(4000) ). however if i do reduce it, it works because there isnt a limitation on the varchars like the Longs have. so the million dollar question is.....can i make this work (with the long column)?????

thanks,
