Use a varchar2...It has 4K limit (or close to it). I had done the same thing but went over the 4K limit. I had to use a CLOB instead.

I am developing with an Oracle back end. I want to have a "miscellaneous notes" field in a table. I want to use some sort of HTML-editor tag as the front end for this field, and imagine that it will hold up to about 3000 characters. What datatype should I use in the back end, and what size limit does that type have? Is this a more complicated question than I think?
