->Hi, I created a table with a LONG type. From what I read in the Oracle docs
->LONG supports up to 2 gigs of data. But I am not able to insert more than
->4000 characters into that field.
->i have this message error : ORA-01704 "String Literal Too Long"
->
->any help please.

To insert that long a literal, you run up against an SQL*Plus limitation. You'll have to insert it in chunks, keeping track of where the last one ended so you know where to start the next one.
