SQL & PL/SQL

Hi Gurus,

i have one table with one long column.Below structure this

A (s0 number,s1 long,s2 varchar2(20))

Above long column contains "select" Query. A table contains 400 records.

I want to create backup table for the TABLE A

create table A_BKP as select * from A;

when i am trying to create got the below error LIKE

ORA--00997: illegal use of LONG datatype;

so i request you, is there any other way  to create the backup table using LONG column.

Thanks & Regards
