   Hi,

   I have a JDBC aplication that actualy works with Oracle and I am
porting it PostgreSQL. The trouble is that I have some rows with type
"LONG" (in Oracle) where are stored strings with up to 20Kb and
PostgreSQL doesn't hava this type and seems to be impossible to store
strings larger than 8Kb with the types "TEXT" or "VARCHAR".
   What can I do ?!?!

                                                    thanks.
