Question regarding LONG RAW and BLOB conversion

edited Apr 19, 2011 3:41PM in Database Administration (MOSC) 3 commentsAnswered

Hi guys and girls,

I'm wondering about something and I'm looking for confirmation.

I'm in the process of doing a migration of a huge table with a LONG RAW column (WE8ISO8859P1 characterset, 10GR2)  and the objective is to migrate this to a new database with the same table but defined with a BLOB column instead of the LONG RAW (AL32UTF8 characterset, 11GR2).

At this moment I'm testing the migration by doing an export in the WE8ISO8859P1 characterset and importing it directly in AL32UTF8 into the table with the BLOB column. Now I'm not really worried about the characterset conversion as anything fitting in a LONG RAW WE* table should be fine when being imported into a unicode BLOB table, I'm more worried about the LONG RAW to BLOB conversion.

Howdy, Stranger!
