You are trying to associate too big a variable (in a 3GL program probably) to a SQL statement (a parameter which you are trying to pass). Trying to guess : Musn't be an OCI program, I have already bound bigger variables. The 32512 limit makes me think of the maximum size of a VARCHAR2 in PL/SQL, but you couldn't declare a VARCHAR2(256000) without generating an exception, unless you have a %TYPE variable, and that a varchar column was dropped somewhere and recreated as a CLOB, thus forcing a runtime error? Or in a Pro*C program, perhaps? Do you know at least what type of program generates this error?
