Query on LONG datatype using LIKE operator

skvMar 26 2014 — edited Mar 27 2014

I want to search in USER_VIEWS dictionary table for a column that is used in any views or not.  Below is my query.

SELECT view_name, text
FROM user_views
WHERE LOWER (text) LIKE '%<column name>%';

I am getting below error, because TEXT is LONG datatype column in the table.


ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected NUMBER got LONG


I am working on Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7.0 - 64bit.  Please help me how to search for column.

Thanks a lot for the help.
