Hi all

In our product we have to support long text fields so we use columns defined as VARCHAR2 (2000)
It seems to do the job but we are looking for a way to enable full text search.

Running statements like:
'SELECT text_value FROM client_note WHERE text_value LIKE
'%SPEED%'
would be very slow and always require full table scan. Is there a better way of doing it, especially in the Oracle 8i world?

Thanks

Witold
