Max Size of Datatype


Hi All,

We are currently on Oracle 8i, but in about 2 months we are moving to
10g.

Anyhow, we need to store more than 4000 bytes in a certain column.
How can I do that in 8i, such that it will not create a problem when
moving it to 10g? Additionally, I do not want to break anything that
currently uses the column I need to alter.....

Thanks in advance.
