Please be more specific. What exactly you do to move the table?

Hi

thanks for your reply.

In 2005 my predecessor by mistake created a table in system tablespace which has only one field and the field type is LONG. now i am trying to move the table to another tablespace by
" alter table table_name move tablespace tablespace_name " .

When i execute the above command i am getting the following error

" ora-00997 illegal use of long type".

Can you tell me how to move a table having field type LONG to another tablespace.

Regards

Metalink Note:147356.1 says:
"The drawback to using
this method is the you cannot move a table with a LONG or LONG RAW. You
must exp that table and imp it into a table. You can do this easily by
exporting the table with the LONG/LONG RAW, dropping that table
-- creating an empty version of this table in the new tablespace and
importing just that table."
Metalink Note:1012307.6 explains how to move table using exp/imp

It is maybe a good idea to read the thread before posting dummy posts
