I would research that before making an assumption. The COPY command is a
bit different from anything else in Oracle. I found the following note with
a quick Google search:
"Note that sqlplus COPY has a port specific limit on the maximum size of
LONG you can copy. Refer to the SQLPLUS User Guide and your port specific
documentation to determine if this is feasible or not."
Also, I haven't seen where anyone has suggested that transportable
tablespace might meet your requirement. Have you considered that?

but i think there is a sqlplus limitation of 64k and
any data longet than 64k will get truncated in this
case too..
correct me if i am wrong,even if u set long to a very
high value,data more than 64k in lenght will get
truncated .
