Long atributes

Hello,
   I have to store strings larger than 8Kb in a table. Using postgreSQL
7.0, buit with a 32K page size, the latest JDBC driver and JDK1.2   I still get a SQLException "SQL statement is to
long"when I try to do
 
a insert with a big string, although the homepage says that there is no
query size limit anymore (but the tuples still have to fin in one disk
page).

                                              Thanks
