CLOB

Jump to: navigation, search

A CLOB (Character Large Object) is an Oracle data type that can hold up to 4 GB of data. CLOBs are handy for storing text.
In 12c, the storage limit is extended to (4*1024*1024*1024-1) * CHUNK size given in the LOB STORAGE clause defining the LOB (database block size by default).

Examples[edit]

CREATE TABLE t1(id NUMBER, doc CLOB);
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1, 'some CLOB data');
