We've experienced trouble querying on fields that use a CLOB data type in 8i. Fortunately, we are upgrading to 9i and looking to use the Text data type in place of the CLOB data type. Is the Text data type more flexible in terms of the queries? My hope is that it works similar to a Text data type in SQL Server, where I can simply perform a "like" in the SQL statement.
Any info is greatly appreciated.

Hi Hughes,
I am using both SQLServer & Oracle. Oracle does not have a datatype called TEXT similar to SQLServer. You have to continue to use CLOB. I believe your reference to Text in Oracle means Oracle Text which is different.
Hope this helps.
