Hello everyone, I am using VARCHAR2. The user enters the text into an html form textbox which I would like to then add to the database. Unfortunately, I think this means that I cannot add text more than 4000 characters long. I have a feeling I should be using blobs or such like, but I haven't used them before. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Have you got any tips? I use Oracle 8. Thanks, Simon.
