Issue with Oracle LONG RAW data type

Hi All,
I am facing some issues with Oracle LONG RAW DATA Type.
We are using Oracle 9IR2 Database.
I got a table having LONG RAW column and I need to transfer the same into another table having LONG RAW column.
When I tried using INSERT INTO SELECT * command (or) CREATE TABLE as select * , it is throwing ORA-00997: illegal use of LONG datatype.
I have gone through some docs and found we should not use LONG RAW using these operations.
So I did some basic PLSQL block given below and I was able to insert most of the records. But records where the LONG RAW file is like 7O kb, the inserting is faliling.
I tried to convert LONG RAW to BLOB and again for the record where the LONG RAW is big in size I am getting (ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error) error.
Appreciate if anyone can help me out here.
DECLARE
Y LONG RAW;
BEGIN
FOR REC IN (SELECT * FROM TRU_INT.TERRITORY WHERE TERRITORYSEQ=488480 ORDER BY TERRITORYSEQ ) LOOP
INSERT INTO TRU_CMP.TERRITORY
BUSINESSUNITSEQ, COMPELEMENTLIFETIMEID, COMPONENTIMAGE, DESCRIPTION, ENDPERIOD, GENERATION, NAME, STARTPERIOD, TERRITORYSEQ
VALUES
REC.BUSINESSUNITSEQ, REC.COMPELEMENTLIFETIMEID, REC.COMPONENTIMAGE, REC.DESCRIPTION, REC.ENDPERIOD, REC.GENERATION, REC.NAME,

Import/Export of LONG RAW data to/from Oracle 7.3.3

Is it possible to export the table with LONG RAW data from one instance and then import the dump file to another instance? Does Oracle 7.3.3 support these, if yes, how can I verify the LONG RAW data is successfully imported? If possible, please also provide me with some sample codes. Thanks a lot.

NO you do not have to run catexp7, export files are UPWARD compatable. 10G import can read a 7 export (however 7 export could NOT understand a 10g export.)

[ORACLE 10G] Extract Long Raw data to disc

Hi All,
I want to extract a column which contain long raw data (pdf file) into files on my disque, but i don't know how to do it in SQL or PL/SQL, any help ???

Or maybe just an alter table statement will do it for you...
SQL> create table xx (x long raw);
Table created.
SQL> desc xx;
Name                                                                   Null?    Type
X                                                                               LONG RAW
SQL> alter table xx modify (x blob);
Table altered.
SQL> desc xx;
Name                                                                   Null?    Type

SQL>I've not really used LONG RAW's before but apparently (according to sources on the net) the simlple alter table statement above will do the job.

Select Long Raw data type is so slow?

Hi
I have a table having Long Raw data type field.It's store
more than 2mb per record.But,I need to select others fields in this table without selecting Long Raw field.
anyway,it's so slow for me. Any advise to me?
thx a lot. :)

I do not understand what you mean because if you have this table ( Example ):
c1 number
c2 number
c3 long
you can do this: select c1, c2 from <table_name>;

How to read LONG RAW data from one table and insert into another table

Hello EVERYBODY
I have a table called sound with the following attributes. in the music attribute i have stored some messages in the different language like hindi, english etc. i want to concatinate all hindi messages and store in the another table with only one attribute of type LONG RAW.and this attribute is attached with the sound item.
when i click the play button of sound item the all the messages recorded in hindi will play one by one automatically. for that i'm doing the following.
i have written the following when button pressed trigger which will concatinate all the messages of any selected language from the sound table, and store in another table called temp.
and then sound will be played from the temp table.
declare
     tmp sound.music%type;
     temp1 sound.music%type;
     item_id ITEM;
cursor c1
is select music
from sound
where lang=:LIST10;
begin
     open c1;
     loop
          fetch c1 into tmp; //THIS LINE GENERATES THE ERROR
          temp1:=temp1||tmp;
          exit when c1%notfound;
     end loop;
CLOSE C1;
insert into temp values(temp1);
item_id:=Find_Item('Music');
go_item('music');
play_sound(item_id);
end;
but when i'm clicking the button it generates the following error.
WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED TRIGGER RAISED UNHANDLED EXCEPTION ORA-06502.
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error
SQL> desc sound;
Name Null? Type
SL_NO NUMBER(2)
MUSIC LONG RAW
LANG CHAR(10)
IF MY PROCESS TO SOLVE THE ABOVE PROBLEM IS OK THEN PLESE TELL ME THE SOLUTION FOR THE ERROR. OTHER WISE PLEASE SUGGEST ME,IF ANY OTHER WAY IS THERE TO SOLVE THE ABOVE PROBLEM.
THANKS IN ADVANCE.

You can achieve this in many different ways, one is
1. Create another VO based on the EO which is based on the dest table.
2. At save, copy the contents of the source VO into the dest VO (see copy routine in dev guide).
3. commiting the transaction will push the data into the dest table on which the dest VO is based.
I understand that if we attach VO object instance to region/page, we only can pull and put data in to only one table.
if by table you mean a DB table, then no, you can have a VO based on multiple EOs which will do DMLs accordingly.Thanks

Importing a file containing long raw data

I have got a .dmp file which was exported from an oracle 8i database & contains a long raw column.Now, when i try to import this file in to oracle 9i database, the import says,

Now, when i query from the sys user, i dont find any object with the name invoice_contents.
Can any 1 help me out of the above problem.
Thanks in advance.

The import seems OK, but it also seems that no rows have been imported, maybe no tables. What is the result of :
SQL> select owner, table_name from dba_tables where table_name like '%INVOICE%';
BTW, is the name invoice_content or invoice_contents ?
If the query does not give result, then try to check the content of your dmp file
C:\> imp user/password@db file=invoice_content.dmp full=y show=y

LONG RAW Data Column

Hi everybody,
I have this table:
CREATE TABLE ATTACHMENTS
    AREFITEM NUMBER NOT NULL,
    ATTACHMENT LONG RAW ,
    CONSTRAINT ATTACHMENTS_PK PRIMARY KEY ( AREFITEM ) ENABLE
);This sequence:
CREATE SEQUENCE SATTACHMENTS INCREMENT BY 1 MAXVALUE 999999999999999999999999999 MINVALUE 1 CACHE 20;I have some data in the table... i will not show because it would looks awful posted in here (something like 53454C4543542..... in the ATTACHMENT column) :P
How can i duplicate the data?
INSERT INTO ATTACHMENTS(AREFITEM , ATTACHMENT ) SELECT SATTACHMENTS.NEXTVAL, ATTACHMENT from ATTACHMENTS WHERE AREFITEM = 1;Gives me an error of : illegal use of LONG datatype.
Is this even possible?
1. I cannot unfortunately change to BLOB.
2. Oracle Database 11g Express Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0 - Production
Corrected.
Edited by: Vitor Rodrigues on 26/Mar/2012 14:57

Hi,
It seems like you've forgotten the from clause in the select statement :
INSERT INTO ATTACHMENTS(AREFITEM , ATTACHMENT ) SELECT SATTACHMENTS.NEXTVAL, ATTACHMENT WHERE AREFITEM = 1;

Slow performance with long raw data

Hi all,
we are running a 8i on linux (suse 6.2). everything is fine, but
when we try to select data from a table with two number and one
long raw fields the performance is real low.
data were exported from a 7.0.3 server running on a solaris box.
the new server is much more performant then the sun box, only
this one table doesnt work correct.
Any ideas what i did wrong? more details could be supplied if
needed.

Blushadow,
I thought this is how a Cursor loop works:
..cut..
you need not fetch it again inside the loop? you fetch it once and the loop takes care of implicitly fetching one record at a time in the cursor.
Please correct me if I am wrong.Yes, typically a cursor loop starts the loop, then fetches and then tests for exit condition before processing.
The style the OP is using comes from the old BASIC style where we had REPEAT..UNTIL loops. The condition for these loops, due to their syntax, was specified on the UNTIL part e.g.
REPEAT
.. code ..
UNTIL <condition>;This meant that the code would always be executed once and therefore, to prevent the code executing unecessarily you would have to code something like... (excuse my pseudo code)
IF <condition> = TRUE THEN
REPEAT
.. code ..
UNTIL <condition>
END IF;So, in terms of what the OP is doing, they are fetching the first row outside the loop, using the condional check as the first thing inside the loop to prevent execution of the code if it's unnecessary, and then at the end of the loop fetching the next row before looping back around to the conditional check. Typically, you wouldn't do it that way, but it's fine and does work.

Could you list the error messages that you are getting when you try to do an import.

Sending Long Raw Data to Oracle database through Stored Procedure

Hi,
I am trying to push data to Oracle 9i database through Stored Procedure via thin driver. It is going smoothly upto 29411 bytes. But it is not accepting for 53843 bytes and giving following error :
java.sql.SQLException: Data size bigger than max size for this type: 53843
Is it thin driver limitation? Can I solve it by using OCI driver? Or is there any other approach?
I tried creating connection pool in weblogic 7.0 through OCI driver. But I am not able to configure it. Is there any special way of configuration.
Quick response will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Sanjiv

It happens to me. But I am using CMP of Weblogic 7. If you write your own jdbc code, the following link may be helpful.

Copying Long Raw Column Data to another table

hi everyone,
i am trying to Copy Long Raw Column Data to another table in the same schema. this is the situation
Table A (col1 number,col2 long raw) with 100 records
Table B (col1 number,col2 long raw) with 0 records
now i want to copy col2 of the table A into the column 2 of the table B. but long raw data cant be retrieved in a select statement so is there any specific procedure that will copy long raw data or there is any simple way.
i will be really grateful for anybody's help.
thanx

Dust off that old SQL*PLUS command "COPY" ...
create table tablea (col1 number,col2 long raw)
insert into tablea values (1, testrawio.chartoraw('this is line one'));
insert into tablea values (2, testrawio.chartoraw('this is line two'));
insert into tablea values (3, testrawio.chartoraw('this is line three'));
create table tableb (col1 number,col2 long raw)
copy from scott/tiger@larry insert tableb (col1, col2) using select col1, col2 from tablea
Array fetch/bind size is 15. (arraysize is 15)
Will commit when done. (copycommit is 0)
Maximum long size is 80. (long is 80)
   3 rows selected from scott@tiger.
   3 rows inserted into TABLEB.
   3 rows committed into TABLEB at DEFAULT HOST connection.

      dbms_output.put_line('col1 = '||lr.col1||
                           ' and col2 contains long raw equivalent of '||testrawio.rawtochar(lr.col2));
   end loop;
end;
col1 = 1 and col2 contains long raw equivalent of this is line one
col1 = 2 and col2 contains long raw equivalent of this is line two
col1 = 3 and col2 contains long raw equivalent of this is line three

How to transfer long raw between servers

There is a view in remote server that has included long raw field in which images are stored in tiff format.
I want to transfer them to a local server. When I searched I found out that one way to do such transfer is copy command in sqlplus.
When I used this command to transmit the data, long raw field has failed. Given that I can not give a dump, what way I can choose to transfer long raw data.

Difficult to say if you keep information about your Oracle version secret.
