Moving LONG RAWs between tables

Can anyone help me with a small problem.

I am attempting to copy the contents of LONG RAW column from one table in to the LONG RAW column of another.

Currently I am using a simple PL/SQL procedure, namely:

create or replace procedure migrate
is
begin

   for c in
(select data from table1)

   loop

   insert into table2
(new_data)

   values
(c.data);

   end loop;
end;

Although this is working, it appears that it is only moving the first 32K - which I presume is the limit on the variables for LONG RAWs in PL/SQL. Is PL/SQL implictly using a variable in this case?

Does anyone know a better/quicker way for doing this?
