[Squirrel-sql-users] How to insert a large value into a LONG column in Oracle

[Dwight F. <dw...@qu...>]

In my attempts to use the popup editor to update the value of a LONG datatype
column in Oracle, I get an "ORA-01704 String literal too long" if the data is
over 4000 chars and if its less than 4000 I get "ORA-00997: illegal use of
LONG datatype". I can successfully update the long using a SQL update
statement with a single quoted string < 4000 chars.

I am using version 2.5.1. Is there any way I get squirrel to update a LONG
column value using the popup editor?

Thanks for any help, ~Dwight
