Oracle has varchar2 limit of 4000. So basically for any columns of over 4000 characters, we need to use CLOB(BLOB). My question is : what's the advantage/disadvantage? Any database design issue(I need to have a separate tablespace). And those columns will also be accessed from web via JDBC calls.

Thanks for your input.
