I've been using LONG RAW data with SQL*NET v1 to store images, fixed length arrays of binary data, and complex objects from our OO environment. Although it works, I have had some problems. My main concerns are the restrictions placed upon the LONG RAW datatype (same as LONG datatype restrictons). For example, try using the column in a subquery of an insert statement. The single most important problem I've encountered is the selective transfer of data from a table with LONG RAW data to another.
