Storing large objects (CLOB)

I've defined a table with a CLOB, but when I attempt to pass a large amount of data to it, something in the 3500 character range, it fails with an error of ORA-01704: string literal too long. This is being done with perl/DBI/DBD.

When I insert a short string (a couple of lines), everythings OK. What am I missing?
I've been thru the book a couple of times and all it says is that their examples use
short strings, but larger lengths will also work. Not the case! Received on Thu Aug 20 1998 - 10:40:13 CDT
