I have an individual text string of 2 GB.
I may use Postgresql 8.4 also. But what data type should I use to store this column value of 2GB?

Hello all,
I have to store 2 GB text in the database. Previously I was using Oracle
database with CLOB data type.
Or do you mean you have a bunch of smaller (how big?) text objects that add up to 2GB or so?
Assuming you mean individual objects >= 2GB, you'll have to use PostgreSQL BLOBs or use external files.
What do you need to do with this text? What operations are you performing on it? Full-text search?Do you need to actually support 8.0? For a new project I'd favour starting with 8.3 or 8.4 .
Could anyone please tell me how can I do it in Postgresql 8.0 or later?
