Here's where I get to ask the most likely simple question.
I've inherited a database where it was built using a CLOB to hold XML data
but we have now determined that was total overkill and want to move it to a
RAW column or other suitable datatype.
Looking for conversion issues or other alternatives.
Since Oracle is moving us away from LONG and RAW datatypes, I assume
you want to convert from CLOB to BLOB? BLOB is probably more storage-efficient,
but since XML is made up of character data, I don't really understand the issue with
keeping it a CLOB.
What do you mean by overkill?
