Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.tools -> Re: Coping Data From One Table To Another
The select command won't copy raw data. This can only be done Through PL/SQL. The easiest was as I stated was with the export. There are other methods, but they are complicated and time consuming. If this is a regular function, then I believe the package is dbms_raw, but I havn't used it in a very long time.
