Long raw not being converted to mySql

[donald macqueen]

I have a table in Oracle that looks like this:

NAME Null? Type
___________ ________ ___________________
PREF_OBJECT LONG RAW
OWNER NOT NULL VARCHAR(20)
WINDOW NOT NULL VARCHAR(30)

The migration toolkit converts all 35 Oracle rows to MySQL, but the PREF_OBJECT comes out as a Binary field (good) of length 18 bytes and a value of '<unsupported type>' which just happens to be 18 bytes.

I have googled my brains out on this. I tried streaming the blobs and it made no difference. I am using 5.0. Any suggestions?

Thanks.
