Hi Shannon,

While I don't have any actual experience with the direct drivers, from what 
other's have told me, that is not correct.  You should be able to handle 
VERY high chunk sizes with the direct drivers.  There is probably some 
setting or parameter you need to tweak with.

However, if you need an ODBC workaround, I can dig up a solution that we 
implemented.

Using ODBC, we were able to pass-through very large chunk sizes (over 64K) 
from form text area fields to Oracle CLOBS using IE.  The solution involves 
looping over the incoming text with multiple updates on the CLOB field, 
using a stored procedure (a regular update query did not seem to work with 
CLOBS)

Netscape 4 had a built-in 32 K limitation at that time.
