RE: Long Problem??

Might find the URL below useful. Its a perl script for selecting or inserting LONG RAW but you should be able to adapt it without too much trouble.

Maybe you can do it from within PL/SQL -- the maximum for a string literal in PL/SQL is 32K.

The only alternative that I know of is to use ProC or another external program. Anyone else know?
