Oracle® Database SQL Language Reference: LONG Data Type

Do not create tables with LONG columns. Use LOB columns (CLOB, NCLOB, BLOB) instead. LONG columns are supported only for backward compatibility.

LONG datatypes are obsolete since more than 15 years.
Do you still use Windows 95 on your PC?
Anyone that still uses LONG datatype just deserves the hell where they are.
