I'm new to ORACLE, so please be gentle...I'm writing a system to store and search code. As I understand it, if I were to use a char data type for a code field, I would be very restricted in the size i could have the code data. So...what I need to know is howto best handle 'large' text data sets while still allowing searching. Just some general pointers in the right direction would be welcome.

TIA,
