hey all,
i'm in your typical situation of "we don't
need a dba...oracle is an app so the bizapps guy can handle it"....right...now
to reality. there is a column in our database (oracle is the back end
of our crm package) that is defined as a long and they want to do keyword
searches on it. i've found out that you can't use type long in a where
clause.
i guess i have a few questions and i'm
going to assume the answers (if anyone answers...please oh please do) will be a
matter of opinion. am i better off creating a new column in the existing
table of the type clob or blob? should i create a new table to store this
data? and what would be my best way to keep these columns in sync...every
time someone updated the long column i would want my new column updated to
reflect the change.
right now we're on 8.0.6/win 2k...but
could upgrade to 8.1.7 (means upgrading our crm package too) if it makes this
process easier.
thanks in advance for the help and not
being a dba i hope what i wrote makes
sense!
