But the main point is valid. The phenomenon observed by Nancy is caused by the
storage in the row.

how about using tablespaces UMDOTBS (instead of UNDOTBS) and SYTSEM?

thanks for the laugh.

This is because "ENABLE STORAGE IN ROW" is the default, which means
that oracle will store the first 4000 bytes in the original block.
The first part of a LOB is, essentially, identical to VARCHAR2(4000)
or VARRAW(4000). If you say something like

CREATE TABLE t
(
ISCT_ID NUMBER(10),
CONTENT CLOB
)
TABLESPACE UNDOTBS
LOB(CONTENT) STORE AS LOB_CONTENTS (
TABLESPACE SYSTEM
DISABLE STORAGE IN ROW
NOCACHE
LOGGING)
/

You will not be able to do that any longer. You cannot, however, exceed
4000 characters (I'm not sure what happens if the characters are
multibyte ones - may be Steve or Cary could help with that).
