Steps to Reproduce
Not Applicable
Root Cause
An issue in the custom application code or rules. User was inserting page XML data to one of the column in the data base table. Checked the structure of data base table and observed that the column data type has been specified as VARCHAR2(4000) in order to insert large data which is causing the issue.
Resolution
Change the data type of the column to CLOB from VARCHAR2(4000) in the data base table. Below are the links to articles that are suggesting to use the CLOB data type.
