If you can get the long data into a pl/sql block, you can set a large varchar2 field equal to it. The max size of a varchar2 within pl/sql is above 32,000. If you need to you can write a function that can be called from a select statement if you restrict the references. James Preston wrote in message <35416470.FE07DD41_at_cs.rmit.edu.au>...
