Error : ORA-01704: string literal too long

Question

While I try to set the value of over 4000 characters on a field that has data type CLOB, it gives me this error :

ORA-01704: string lite

Answer 1

The split work until 4000 chars depending on the characters that you are inserting. If you are inserting special characters it can fail. The only secure way is to declare a variable.
