Hi,

        If you insert your string values thru' SQL query the maximum
allowable string size is 4000 chars( Oracle 8.x).

Solution :
        Use oracle bind variables.(please refer Oracle documentation )

************************************************
ORA-01704 string literal too long

Cause: The string literal is longer than 4000 characters.

Action: Use a string literal of at most 4000 characters. Longer values may
only be entered using bind variables.
************************************************


hope this helps

Subject: Writing long strings in Oracle


Hello,
we are trying to insert a huge string in an Oracle LONG field via JDBC; we
are using PreparedStatement.setString().
However, when the string length is longer than 2000 characters, a JDBC
exception is raised.
We thought that Oracle LONG field supports any string length...
What is the problem?

Thank you in advance,
