Yes there is, but you're not going to like this...
Since it is a raw column, I expect it to contain binary data. If you don't
want to use export/import, you'l have to write some program (C for
instance) to read the data and write it to a file, and than read that back
into the other database. This is like writing your own version of
export/import. Long columns always have been a pain in the backside. If it
is only charachter data, you can get away with it in plain SQL. But raw is
a bit more complex.
If there are other ways to do this, it is always some kind of export/import
construction.
