Tanel,

Oracle 9-2 SQL Ref manual. Lob storage clause.
The options for lobs on creation are:
    CACHE
    NO CACHE
    CACHE READS

I don't think the last one appeared until 9.2
I was wrong about caching only writes, though -
one of the joys of trying to quote everything from
memory.

The CACHE READS option means that the 
LOB goes into the buffer cache for reads, but
not for writes.  Pity, really, because I'd quite
like to see it the other way around. 



Regards
