[Zope] Inserting LONGs with DCOracle

[Dorothea Kuehn]

Hi,
If I try to insert an ca.5000 char string with DCOracle(1.3.2) into a LONG
column in Oracle (8i) I keep getting ORA-1704 'string literal too
long'-Errors. 

Ok, I read here
http://osi.oracle.com/~tkyte/Misc/LargeStrings.html
that it will work (a) with bind variables or (b) that I have to use
ODBC,OCI or alike.

Questions: (a) Can I use bind variables with DCOracle? How?
(b) I thought DCOracle is using OCI, so why the heck this isn't working?
Any workarounds?

thanks for help,
