Hi all

I'm loading data from text file separated by TAB and i got the error below for some lines.
Event the column is CLOB data type is there a limitation of the size of a CLOB data type.
The error is:

Record 74: Rejected - Error on table _TEMP, column DEST.
Field in data file exceeds maximum length

I'm using SQL Loader and the database is oracle 11g r2 on linux Red hat 5

Here are the line causing the error fronm my data file and my table description for test:

INCREASE VARCHAR2(20),
COUNTRY VARCHAR2(500),
DEST	CLOB,
WEEK	VARCHAR2(10),
IS_SAT VARCHAR2(50),
IS_SUN VARCHAR2(50)
)
