Re: Oracle CLOB data / ADO problem

Yeah, I think you're right. I thought about that too (though retrieving large text fields from SQL Server is transparent, so I tried a simple assignment statement first).

The results of the Getchunk were:

With ClientSide cursor location: ActualSize = 0, so GetChunk always failed. With ServerSide cursor location: ActualSize = [the total number of characters], GetChunk still brought back NULL (plus, we're using client-side cursors exclusively, so that one wouldn't have been much of an option anyway).

I know that the MS Oracle provider and the ODBC driver for Oracle do not support the CLOB datatype. Though no error is reported when using the Oracle provider with CLOB's, I wonder if they are not properly supported in that product as well.
