hi,

try typecasting the variable to a string and then you can compare them.
eg. String.valueOf(<long variable> will convert it to a string.

if you're not going to perform any computation on this, you can also get the data as a string using rs.getString() where rs is the resultset object.

tell me which one is suitable for you...

Srikrishna,
The following works for me using JDK 1.4.2, Oracle 9.2.0.4 (on SUN [sparc] Solaris 9) and Oracle's "thin" JDBC driver.

First, I create a database table with a LONG column:

Then I insert some data into that table:

Note that these first two steps are done using SQL*Plus (not java).

Now I write some java code to fetch the data from MY_TABLE:
[Note that this is pseudo-code -- it is uncompiled and untested!]

Hope it helps.

Good Luck,
Avi.
