There seems to be some issue with setCLOB() that causes an ORA-00942 under some circumstances when the target table does exist and is correctly privileged. I'm having this exact issue now, I can make the ORA-00942 go away by simply not binding the CLOB into the same table.

I've tried setClob() with a java.sql.Clob and setCLOB() with an oracle.jdbc.CLOB but with the same result.

As you say, if you bind as a string the problem goes away - but this then limits your data size to 4k.

From testing it seems to be triggered when a transaction is open on the session prior to binding the CLOB. I'll feed back when I've solved this...checking Oracle support.
