Typically, large bodies of text are stored in BLOB or CLOB type column in an Oracle database. Blob - binary Clob - character based Nclob - multibyte characters (eg unicode) I think these are your choices. https://doc.ispirer.com/sqlways/Output/SQLWays-1-124.html https://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14249/adlob_intro.htm

Sameena Ghaffar🇮🇳 I'm afraid I can't help with Oracle, no experience with that TBH. But I did a little search, and found this page, hopefully the explanation of what each type for in that page can assist you to decide which type to use. Good luck with the project! 👍 https://www.w3resource.com/oracle/oracle-data-types.php

Are you asking for the data type in SQL or Java? Can you explain the reason why you want to save text file in a database? why can't you just store it in a subdirectory for uploaded files for example.

Sameena Ghaffar🇮🇳 Which DBMS are you planning to use? I ask this because I see MySQL and Oracle are both in Relevant Tags. There may be difference of data types between the two.
