Where can I find the maximum size allowed information for varchar2. I did read in the manual that it allows 4000 bytes. But some where I also read that in 8.1.7 it allows 32k bytes.

I am confused and I wanted to make sure the exact size it supports.

I appreciate your help.

Regards
Raj

Some time ago I learned that the maximum number of characters you can store in a varchar2 column in an Oracle 8.x.y database table is 4000.
However, in a PL/SQL context the a varchar2 type variable can store up to 32K characters.

That means in my servlet/perl cgi script can I insert data of size 32k into a varchar2 datatype.

Thanx
