14 Migrating Columns to SecureFile LOBs

Oracle recommends that you migrate your existing columns that use the LONG or LONG RAW datatype or BasicFile LOB storage to the SecureFile LOB storage. This chapter covers various techniques to help with this migration.

Note:

All discussions in this chapter are valid for migrating the LONG datatype to CLOB or NCLOB, and the LONG RAW datatype to BLOB. Most of the text in this chapter talks just about the LONG datatype for brevity.
