Yes, that's true. LONG would be a possible solution, but I don't know
what happens if i change this.. Therefore it would be nice, if there
is anyone who tried this already. Otherwise I will test it on my
testing-system.

All the open bug reports are non-answered... I don't think this is a
positive point to all the people thinking about implementing TYPO3
with Oracle..
At all my system runs quite well, I have some problems with extensions
which don't use the TYPO3 database syntax but I fix them manually.
If I can solve this problem with the long strings quickly I will be
able to set my system to a live-state in about a week.
