Re: Illegal use of LONG datatype

LONG's are only included in Oracle 8 for ANSI and backward compatability.
You will not experience these restrictions if you use columns of type CLOB.
CLOB's are both eaiser to use and perform better, becuase they pass locators
arround and only access the data on retrieval.
