The `long_col` method creates a column containing Java primitive long values.

> [!NOTE]
> This method is commonly used with [`new_table`](./newTable.md) to create tables.

## Syntax

```python syntax
long_col(name: str, data: Sequence[int]) -> InputColumn
```

<ParamTable>
<Param name="name" type="str">

The name of the new column.

</Param>
<Param name="data" type="Sequence[int]">

The column values.

</Param>
</ParamTable>

## Returns

An [`InputColumn`](/core/pydoc/code/deephaven.column.html#deephaven.column.InputColumn).

## Example

The following examples use [`new_table`](./newTable.md) to create a table with a single column of longs named `Longs`.

```python
from deephaven import new_table
from deephaven.column import long_col

result = new_table([long_col("Longs", [10000000, 987654321, -314159265])])
```
