I know Oracle provides us dbms_lob package to manipulate LOB data. However, I can use standard DML to manipulate CLOB data as following. Is there advantage to use dbms_lob package?

SQL> CREATE TABLE t
  2 (

  3    ISCT_ID              NUMBER(10),
  4    CONTENT              CLOB

  5 );

Table created.

SQL> insert into t values(1, 'test');

1 row created.

SQL> insert into t values(2, NULL);

1 row created.

SQL> update t set content='test2' where isct_id=2;

1 row updated.

SQL> select * from t;

   ISCT_ID                             CONTENT
-------------------------------------------------------
         1                               test

         2                               test2
