    Thanks for the prompt response.
    Here is the problem.

    We are trying to do some reorg.

    I moved most the tables into a new created LMT.

    I have attempted to move a couple of tables and was getting ora- 00997
    illigal use of LONG datatype.

    So I created a new table with varchar2 (2000)in the new LMT and trying to get the data into it.


    SQL> insert into Table B SELECT * FROM A;
    Failed with *
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-00997: illegal use of LONG datatype

    any other easy way and advise will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks

    The lie takes the elevator, the truth takes the staircase but ends up catching up with the lie.
