Oracle6 had large text and binary objects; but there was a significant 
space penalty to their use, and IIRC they worked best if you only ever did 
inserts and selects --- no updates, *no* deletes (the space used would be 
"lost" IIRC).  I don't know when, if ever, this was changed to something 
sane.
