hi
Long is depricated now u better use clob,Long raw,Long is supported in Oracle 9i for backward comaplibity,use blob,clob instead,you can have only one Long raw,Long column in table.
SQL> create table t1 (a  long,b  number);
Table created.
SQL> insert into t1 values ('aaa',1);
1 row created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> alter table t1 move tablespace users;
alter table t1 move tablespace users
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00997: illegal use of LONG datatype
SQL> alter table t1 modify (a  clob);
Table altered.
SQL> alter table t1 move tablespace users;
Table altered.
=======================================================
SQL> drop table t1;
Table dropped.
SQL>  create table t1 (a long raw,b number);
Table created.
SQL>  insert into t1 values ('aaa',1);
1 row created.
SQL> alter table t1 move tablespace users;
alter table t1 move tablespace users
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00997: illegal use of LONG datatype
SQL> alter table t1 modify (a  blob);
Table altered.
SQL> alter table t1 move tablespace users;
Table altered. Khurram Siddiqui
