When I get hints or help finding a problem solution from here, I try to post results if it might help others in the future so other searches hit this. Problem was I couldn't post a reply to the threads that contained the hints that helped me, I guess they were too old.

Problem was seeing the following intermittently with selects/inserts on CLOBS.

java.io.IOException: Bigger type length than Maximum

We were using 8.1.7.2 server on solaris 8 and the 9.x jdbc thin drivers - oracle recommended we use the combination. The fix was to move back to the 8.1.7.3 jdbc driver (classes12.zip). We are also going to forward patch the server to 8.1.7.3, but the behavior stopped after we used the correct thin driver.

thanks for all the help this newsgroup provides! jon Received on Fri Sep 06 2002 - 13:20:45 CDT
