Re: JDBC and long TEXT fields

There is actually an 8K (or so) limit to text field length. Although I 
believe that is going away
soon, if it hasn't already.

For text fields of that length you have to use Blobs. In fact, as I 
understand it, eventually the
JDBC driver will do this for you automatically.
