Not and have the same capability of formatted text.

If you can do VARCHAR2(4000) then presumably you are in Oracle 8i ... you don't say.

If so you should drop all LONGs, Oracle has already announced that they will not exist in the future, and move to CLOBs. And you can certainly have multiple CLOBs in a table.
