clob字段存储的是文本，如果存储少于4000个字节则clob字段会和记录存放在一起，如果存储超过4000个字节，则不会与记录存放在一起。值得注意的是，这里的4000个字节并不是等同于varchar2(4000),那相当于什么呢，请看下列实验，数据库版本是10.2.0.1.0：

drop table test_clob purge;
create table test_clob
(
  id number,
  clob1  clob
);

insert into test_clob values(1,Lpad(‘111‘,100,‘1‘));--236
insert into test_clob values(2,Lpad(‘222‘,500,‘1‘));--1036
insert into test_clob values(3,Lpad(‘333‘,1000,‘1‘));--2036
insert into test_clob values(4,Lpad(‘444‘,1982,‘1‘));--4000
insert into test_clob values(5,Lpad(‘555‘,1983,‘1‘));--4002
commit;

记录 Lpad(‘111‘,100,‘1‘));--236
记录 Lpad(‘222‘,500,‘1‘)--1036
记录 Lpad(‘333‘,1000,‘1‘)--2036
记录 Lpad(‘444‘,1982,‘1‘)--4000
记录 Lpad(‘555‘,1983,‘1‘)--4002

   看出规律来了，第一条记录我们认为的长度是100，存在block中的长度是236，就是236=100*2+36，其他的规律都是这样。同时也可以看到存储超过4000个字节，就是长度为1982时这个就是临界值，大于这个之后就clob就存到其他地方了。
