Re: Context Cartridge ctxload utility

If you are on Oracle 8 and know that your text files will have less than 4000 chars at most, try loading a column defined as a VARCHAR2(4000) and see if you still get the error. Oracle does not treat text that is stored in a column defined as a LONG datatype as normal text data.
