Qs What Datatypes Can be Used for 2 Columns of Size 3000 in 1 Table to Store Character Data ?

NOTE - 2 Columns of LONG Datatype are NOT Allowed in 1 Table

create table test10 (test1 long,test2 long); create table test10 (test1 long,test2 long)

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01754: a table may contain only one column of type LONG

Qs Also please tell any Limitations , Disadvantages when using any Substitute
Advised Datatype ?

Thanks

P.S. Any Disadvantages with using CLOB ?
