Workaround for > 1000 columns?

Hey, guys. I seem to have a problem.

Oracle has decided that I don't need a table with more than 1000 columns, and rather than give me enough rope to hang my database and the computer it runs on, it won't let me create one. I feel I have just such a need, however, and splitting it into two tables would be a major hassle, especially from a user's perspective (having >1000 variables is bad enough without having to look for which table the right variable is in).

Does anyone know about a workaround for this? I can't create views with
> 1000 columns either, but are there any other view-like items/options?
This lousy rule (a round number like 1000 -- as opposed to something like 1024 -- has to be arbitrary) might throw another complication into our project, which I dislike.

Thanks a lot!
