Hi,

I have a table 'x' with one of the column as 'LONG' I would like to copy the data from the above table 'x' into a different table 'Y' with the same structure.

When I tried "insert into x select * from y" I am getting "Illegal use of LONG data type".

Could any one please help me to move the data?

Thanks
Sridhar.
