You can't use the insert select with long, check out the COPY command

Hi,
I have a requirement like mentioned bellow.

Table A

Columns	datatype
col1		number
col2		long

Table B
col1		number
col2 		long

I need to put some rows from table A to table B. If I use the sqlplus=20

sqlplus>insert into A select * from B where B.col1 < 50; I get the following error.

ORA-00997: illegal use of LONG datatype

Is there any other way to accomplish this goal.

Thanks.
