Thomas,
I posted a solution to checking constraint conditions (also a long) for
duplicates. The basic idea is to create a gtt with a clob, insert the long
(using to_lob() function, then manipulate the resulting character 'string'. As
long as you know that the data is character and only character, this should
work. It's a cludge, but it does work.
Regards,
Daniel Fink
