в vertica подобных Oracle пакетов для работы с длинными типами данных нет
и не рекомендуют их использовать
For optimal performance of LONG data types, HP Vertica recommends that you:
Use the LONG data types as storage only containers; HP Vertica does not support operations on their content.
Use the VARBINARY and VARCHAR data types, instead of their LONG counterparts, whenever possible. The VARBINARY and VARCHAR data types are more flexible and have a wider range of operations.
