Why LONG field limit??

I'm in the middle of converting a MS Access database to Oracle. Have already encountered a stumbling block: Oracle only allows one LONG field per table. Since I have a table that contains 15 LONG type equivilents (memo fields), I must now create 15 additional tables and alter all my queries accordingly. Just curious, does anyone know why Oracle imposes this limit? Are there any plans to change this limit in upcoming releases?    Received on Sun Dec 03 1995 - 00:00:00 CET
