Hi,

I have a DB with several LONG fields for things like news stories, etc. I want to use InterMedia to make the DB searchable, but I think I will need to convert all these LONGs to CLOBs. Can anyone confirm whether this is necessary - the InterMedia docs say "Storing data in the deprecated column types of LONG and LONG RAW is supported only for migrating Oracle7 systems to Oracle8."

If I have to convert them, how do I do it? The link to this information in the InterMedia docs was broken (I can't find it again to say where the link was)
