Large Data loads from an applet into a Oracle Database

[SESHAGIRI KODUGANTI]

Hello friends,

I wanted to load a large chuck of textual data into a Oracle 8.0
Database. The table has a field with datatype long which as DB Admin with
support 2 MB of data loading. I am using Oracle 8.0 Thin JDBC driver. But
the it is unable to load the even a small file of data and instead gives me
this error

java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01704: string literal too long

Any Ideas. How do you people load large amounts of data into databases.
Does Level 4 thin driver support large data loads ??

I would appreciate any help in this regard.
