I'm having an issue in trying to import Remedy data directly into oracle
using oracle's import utility.

 

 

Oracle 10gR2 on HPUX 11i. Back end db for Remedy

Original db setup:  Locale not set (default C)

Oracle NLS_LANG american_america.we8iso8859p1

DB Char set - WE8ISO8859P1, National Char - AL16UTF16,
nls_length_semantics - char

 

We had a problem with french chars not being saved to db from client/web
app. We could not change language sets as the program csscan had too
many errors to do the change. So we created a dmp, dropped the db and
recreated it with:

 

At the OS level - set LANG and LC_ALL = en_US.UTF

Oracle account NLS_LANG =american_america.we8iso8859p1 (unchanged) 

On db creation - char set = AL32UTF8, National Char = AL16UTF16 and
nls_lenght_semantics=CHAR

 

Ran the import on the dump but I'm getting the following errors  

on a few tables:

. . importing table                         "T176"

 

 

IMP-00058: ORACLE error 1461 encountered

ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column

IMP-00028: partial import of previous table rolled back: 139 rows rolled
back

 

The tables have a few columns of varchar2 (4000 char). I tried to change
them to LONG but got the same error. 

 

Any help welcome.
