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

Ok, well, since you didn’t show any code, I’ll make a few assumptions here.

Based on the ORA-1461 error, it seems that you’ve specified a LONG datatype in a select statement? And you’re trying to bind it to an output variable? Is that right? The error is pretty straight forward. You can only bind a LONG value for insert into LONG column.

Not sure what else to say. The error is fairly self-explanatory.

In general, it’s a good idea to move away from LONG datatype to a CLOB. CLOBs are much better supported, and LONG datatypes really are only there for backward compatibility.

Here’s a list of LONG datatype restrictions

Hope that helps.
