Mapper, Oracle and LONG RAW

[Channing Walton]

Hi,

my Oracle DBA says he would like us to stop using LONG RAW and use CLOB, BLOB, etc instead. LONG RAW has been legacy (no longer supported) for a while apparently and we should be using a LOB type.

At the moment we are using MappedFakeClob whose targetSqlType is Types.BINARY, which the OracleDriver turns into a LONG RAW.

How can we go about using a LOB instead?

Hi, considering it's been awhile since you posted this and there were no answers, I would say none of the committers use Oracle these days (or if they do their free time is very limited), that being said, we have now relaxed the limits on pull requests from external users, so if you are willing to send a PR that adds support for this column type, we could accept it.

Thanks

Diego

Hi,

I was thinking of that - just hoping to get some time. I presume there is no way to test it in LIft’s test suite, so I would just need to test it manually?

You can check how the test suite decides whether to run mongodb tests, we could use a similar pattern for Oracle only tests. If it detects an oracle instance running, run the tests, otherwise, skip them.

ok sounds good.
