I think we found that SQuirreL attempts to use the LONG column in the
WHERE clause for the update and that this is not valid on Oracle.  I
gave you steps to take to tell SQuirreL not to use that column in the
update, and asked you to file a bug.  This message seems to be a
re-post of the same message from you a few days ago.  Has anything
changed with regard to this bug?  Is the work-around I gave you no
longer working?
