Oracle Clob Field type

[chaka....@gmail.com]

Noob here...

I have an existing table with two Clob fields. While defining the
model I use TextField as the filed type.

running <python manage.py syncdb> gives me back the error:

cx_Oracle.DatabaseError: ORA-01754: a table may contain only one
column of type LONG

Well, what I really want are clobs to begin with. It sounds like what
I really want to do is subclass Field, but this is starting to turn in
to more trouble than it's worth...

This has to be something somebody's come across before.

I've no experience with Oracle but -- you run syncdb to create your tables.  If you already have the table, why are you running syncdb?

Django doesn't use LONG columns. Please make sure that you're using
Django 1.0+ and *not* a 0.96 release. The oracle backend included in
0.96 was incomplete and should not be used.

Hope that helps,

You're right -- there's no need to run syncdb. All of this is a
learning exercise for me.
I'm just running the commands to see the output and behavior as I go
through the docs, with an eye for potential snags and "gotchas" that
might kill me later on.
