I had to change several lines related to the support of the Long type of
Oracle (my DSpace version is 1.4.1), because it didn't work well ( I
discussed this topic several weeks ago in the mailing list).

When I try to enter a file of more than 1 gig I get an Internal Error, but
in our context we don't have to include files with this size.

Cheers.

What patch(es) did you apply?

And what problems are you having?

There are lots of potential issues when dealing with large files - the
amount of data you can handle in an upload / ingest, file system of the
asset store, etc.

AFAIK, the only database related issue with large files is the storing
of the file size metadata - in that regards, the changes to allow long
integers to store file size originally broke *all* file uploads with
Oracle (not just large files). Even a minimal workaround would likely
have no more issues than to misreport large file sizes, although the
latest patches do not have that limitation.
