I am developing a swing based system that supports multiple back end database. It is working fine for mysql and MS SQL Server. Oracle support has been much tougher. Most issues have been resolved with the exception of searching text fields which are CLOBS in Oracle. Searching begins with or contains using Expression.ilike works fine. However when doing an equals or not equals with Expression.eq or Expression.ne throws the error bellow. I have read through many posts on this subject but am still quite confused.

Does anyone have a solution for this problem.
