varchar2(8000)

Hi all,

I need to create a table like this one:

            create table session (
                   id varchar2(40),
                   data varchar2(8000),
                   expiration_time timestamp
               )


unfortunately varchar2 has a limit of 4000 char.
I tried CLOB, NCLOB but I can't use them because I need to pass it to pickle and pickle wants a tring as argument

|>> <http://newjosedev.sferacarta.com:8000/#>data *=* pickle*.*loads*(*pickled_data*)*| *TypeError: ('loads() argument 1 must be string, not cx_Oracle.LOB', <bound method Root.index of <sicer.BASE.controller.Root object at 0x8231f10>>)*



What kind of type can I use to avoid this?
thank you,

j
