Lots of these: You cannot move a table containing a LONG or LONG RAW column. ( http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/statements_3001.htm#i2085301 ) I could export only the tables with long/long raw, but the bulk of the data is in tables with longs, so I don't gain that much in terms of time/simplicity. Idea ... Good. Application ... Bad However, I just have a bothersome feeling I'm missing something with my original approach.
