After further investigation I have confirmed *my* problem to be the Oracle's thin driver. It seems to put a 4000 character limit on the CLOB fields, even if you have the " -- Enable long text retrieval (CLOB)." option checked in the administrator. As soon as I go over 4000 characters I get this error:
17070 Data size bigger than max size for this type This is what I expected, but I just though I should confirm. I would really like to see this issue resolved, but I'm not sure what else I can do without CFMX Enterprise. In case you are wondering why I'm so interested in Alex's plight, I'm hoping to convince management to upgrade to Enterprise so that I can deploy FarCry on Oracle 9i. I would like to use Oracle because we are already running Oracle9i and have an Oracle DBA in-house. If there is anything else I can do, let me know. --Nathan > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf > Of Alex Park > Sent: Tuesday, March 16, 2004 1:05 PM > To: FarCry Developers > Subject: [farcry-dev] Re: Database Problem > > This did not work :( > > Any other ideas? > > > Alex > > > "Craig McDonald" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message > news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > By default they can hold up to 4gig... > > > > But I think 32760 is a good start. > > > > The oracle datasource also needs to be setup in CF Admin with the > > "Enable long text retrieval (CLOB)" option checked.
