Hi,



I have observed that insert statement using NVL function fails if a
long variable's length is more than 4000.



insert into some_table values (NVL(longvar, ''))



The error message is ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert
into a LONG column.



Is there any foolproof way of using NVL with long datatype? (Other than
initializing it with empty string '')



Thanks,


Sameer.
