    Select LONG column from remote table

    Hi to all.
    I have the following problem: I can't select a LONG column from remote database, when there are Join operation in the query. Example:
    SELECT long_column FROM remote_table@DB
    -> that's OK, but:
    SELECT long_column FROM remote_table@DB INNER JOIN remote_table2@DB ON ...
    -> returns: "ORA-00997: Illegal use of LONG datatype"
    I cannot even perform (because there a LONG column in the joined table):
    SELECT nonlong_column FROM remote_table@DB INNER JOIN remote_table2@DB ON ...
    That's very strange to me because:
    SELECT long_column FROM local_table INNER JOIN local_table2 ON ...
    -> is OK!
    Can someone help me to SELECT a long column from remote in query with JOIN clause (the LONG column is onlu in the SELECT list not in the join clause)!
    Thanks a lot!

    Why don't you use CLOB/BLOB instead of LONG data type?
