data updation in LONG datatype variable
Hi All,
I used one table which contains Long data type column.
When I fire update query for that column with long string it fires an error
ORA-01704: string literal too long
even update column contains data upto 4000 to 4500 characters
If long query data up to 2 G.B. then it should not fire such an error.
I want to know what is the issue behind it. and is there having any way to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance,
Prashant

What's your version of Oracle?
LONG datatype it's been deprecated for a long time now; if you are running anything after Ora8i you should be using LOB datatype. TO_LOB() function will allow you to convert from long to lob.
