Folks Due to Historical Reasons in a Banking product the Customer Signature Image binary data i.e. JPEG (with JFIF Compression) is stored in a LONG Datatype. What is the ideal path to convert this LONG field to BLOB Datatype in Oracle ver 9.2 & 10gR2? Is Conversion from LONG to the intermediate CLOB & CLOB onwards to BLOB necessarily needed? What might be the performance issues faced as Table size is 1 TB? Any Docs Links will help Thanks indeed Some related Metalink Doc IDs:- <Note:166090.1> How to Migrate LONG to CLOB / LONG RAW to BLOB <Note:162035.1> Copy CLOB Column Value To BLOB Column **************** CAUTION - Disclaimer ***************** This e-mail contains PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION intended solely for the use of the addressee(s).
