How can I store character data which is more than 2000 bytes in a column, (Is there any data type other than varchar & varchar2 Which has a limitation of 2000 bytes)
I appreciate your help.
Regards
Raj

Datatype LONG is probably what you're looking for.
It's not perfect though - you can only have one LONG per table, you cannot include them in WHERE, ORDER BY, GROUP BY clauses, you cannot use them in any function which takes a varchar as an argument (like substr, instr ect)
All in all they're pretty naff.
