Hi, This might be a bit off Topic but here goes...
I don't see the need for a CLOB type in a Database (to be more specific - Oracle) when there is support for a BLOB type. Any CLOB can be stored as a BLOB, so what is the need for a CLOB? I agree that any other type too can be stored in a BLOB, but I also understant they have other features that are not present in a BLOB and they are faster than a BLOB (BLOB is a pointer, but primitive types are directly stored). Thus it makes sense having primitive data types. I don't see any feature in a CLOB that is not present in a BLOB. Obviously I'm missing something - can someone point out what I'm missing?

I didn't find anything when looking through the DTD for the id-method-parameter tag. But maybe someone already did that and can give me a short hint. Thank you.
