Oracle 8i : Recordlength truncated to 65535

Hi,

I have a problem with importing a dump file from Oracle 7 in Oracle 8i : I get a warning that the recordlength is being truncated to 65535. This is a problem because in the database there is a field of type LONG RAW. The data in this field > 65535 bytes.

What can I do to solve this problem ?

The export script for Oracle 7 (7.03.02) :

c:\orant\bin\exp73 AAA/BBB_at_database BUFFER=200000 file=d:\dbbackup\database.dmp FULL=Y LOG=d:\dbbackup\database.log RECORDLENGTH=200000 The import script for Oracle 8i (8.1.7) :

IMP USERID=AAA/BBB_at_database FULL=Y BUFFER=200000 RECORDLENGTH=200000 COMMIT=Y FILE=d:\dbbackup\database.dmp GRANTS=Y IGNORE=Y LOG=IMP.LOG

The warning at import :

Import: Release 8.1.7.0.0

Note: RECORDLENGTH=200000 truncated to 65535
