Long-Lob-Migration

[Former Member]

Hello,

During table reorganization Oracle 10g will automatically migrate LONG fields to LOB. My question: Is this conversion fully transparent to the SAP system or do I have to make changes in the ABAP-Code (or in any other place) afterwards?

Any help is appreciated.

Hi,

The answer is no, you don't need to do any modifications in ABAP dictionary.

I highly recommend to check note

Note 646681 - Reorganizing tables with BRSPACE

as per note:

The conversion is purely a database action that is carried out under the control of BRSPACE. No changes occur in the SAP ABAP dictionary, so the entire activity has no influence on the SAP kernel. The actual basis for the LONG to LOB conversion creates the Oracle OCI8 feature of transparent access to LOB fields using the LONG interface.
