I have a table name mytable in Oracle 9i.
columns of mytable are
id number(9,0)
C1 LONG RAW,
C2 VARCHAR2(256),
C3 BLOB,
C4 BFILE
when I try to do this:
create this_other_table as
select * from mytable;
I get this:
ORA-00997: illegal use of LONG datatype
I guess the rest of columns that are of some kind of binary data (BLOB, AND BFILE, besides LONG RAW) will yield errors also.
Would someone please shed some light on how to do this?
