How do I use this?

I have a LONG column on an ORACLE database and I need to read it in. I can stream it in, but I have no need of this. In the java doc it referred to a static datatype called LONGVARCHAR part of java.sql.Types and I've imported java.sql.Types, and java.lang.Object and many others... and I don't know how to make use of the LONGVARCHAR type.

When I try to type a field with it, I get an error:

LONGVARCHAR variable_name;

i get an error that it doesn't know about LONGVARCHAR.

How can I make use of this with the thin jdbc driver? Or, what other ways are there of reading in a long field and converting the WHOLETHING into a string?

Thanks.
