Ref: http://www.dba-oracle.com/oracle_news/2005_5_9_converting_long_lob_data_types.htm
Using TO_LOB one can easily convert LONGS to LOBS.
Using the same conversion function one can convert LONG into CLOB and LONGRAW TO BLOB.
Have a look into following example
SQL>create table tlong(itemcd number(30),itemdesc long);
/
Table created.
SQL>Create table tlob(ItemCd Number(30),Itemdesc clob);
Table created
Now dump some values from some table into table tlong
SQL>insert into tlong select icode,iname from InvTab;
2000 rows created.
Now try to insert into lob table from long table
SQL>Insert into tlob select itemcd,TO_LOB(itemdesc) from tlong
2000 rows created.
but in PL/SQL you need to handle different way
normal select into insert will not work,but excute immediate will be the workaround in oracle 8.1.7
Let's see how it can be done PL/SQL
begin
insert into tlob select itemcd,TO_LOB(itemdesc) from tlong;
end;
/
the above pl/sql block works well with oralce 9i and oracle 10g but fails in oracle 8.1.7 with the following error
ERROR at line 2:
ORA-06550: line 2, column 33:
PLS-00201: identifier 'TO_LOB' must be declared
ORA-06550: line 2, column 1:
PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
Then you should use dynamic sql (Execute Immediate 'SQL statement') as follows
begin
execute immediate 'insert into tlob select itemcd,TO_LOB(itemdesc) from tlong';
end;

insert into tbclustertogrid
(clusterno, rectsmid, rectspec, vcdist_id)
select '{0}', '{1}', '500', '{2}'
from dual
where not exists (select clusterno
from TBCLUSTERTOGRID
where clusterno = '{0}'
and rectsmid = '{1}'
and vcdist_id = '{2}')
