Tg4msql - Blob Data Type Support(Oracle 8i - sql server 2000)

Question

hi,
We are trying to replicate the data from oracle 8i to sql server 2000 through tg4msql.if we want to replicate the data thet contains the blob field , we are getting invalid expression in the procedure marked with error line.
the procedure i am using is as follows
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE INSERT_SQL
AS
BEGIN
FOR VAL_CURSOR IN
--Get the Data from the table with status 0
SELECT rs_report_rowid FROM BIJU.rs_report where rs_report_status = 0
LOOP
for new_cursor in
--get the details of the record with the row id
select id ,name,DOB from biju.sample where rowid = val_cursor.rs_report_rowid
LOOP
---insert the data from oracle to sql where the oracle data type contains blob(here photo field data type is blob).
Error Line: insert into [email protected](id,name,photo) values(new_cursor.id,new_cursor.NAME,new_cursor.DOB);
END LOOP;
END LOOP;
COMMIT;
END;
i want to know that tg4msql won't support the blob data type on the oracle end?we configured blob eqivalent in sql server as binary.Any help or suggestion regarding this are welcome..
regards

Srini,
Support for LOB was added in v9.2. It is not supported in 8i.
