-> I was told that Pro*C (2) did not support access to

Huh? I've been accessing LONGs from PROC for years. I don't use the OCI. It's just another type, the only restriction I seem to recall (it's been a few years since I had to work out the logic) was that you could not ask for the size and had to pre-allocate a very large buffer.
I also seem to recall from reading the docs (newer) is that there are some OCI functions to access pieces of the LONG field, since you can store a 200MB item, but you'd have some real problems allocating a 200MB buffer to store it in. Received on Sat Sep 24 1994 - 05:59:00 CEST
