I have settled on Oracle as a development platform, and am curious if
they will soon, within the next 2 years, come out with a data type of 
memo/text that could contain a variable number of lines/characters, and
if there will ever be a blob: binary large object.

I currently am hopefully awaiting these new enhancements to Oracle.

by the way, I don't care about what Ingres, Informix, Sybase, or any others
are doing.  I'm a loyal Oracle fan.

your input is welcome.

lou.
