long raw (migration from ora 8)

[ElvisUntot]

i have a view that contains:

decode(unt.user_id,null,lo.def_lob,unt.img) as img,

lo.def_lob and unt.img are both long raw fields.

it looks like you can not use long raw in a decode in 9.x

has anybody an idea how to chance the decode()?

to change the fields from long raw to something else would include a major rewrite of the code.


thanks in advance, ralph
