Exception when using Oracle AQ

[rom chatterjee]

I am trying to enqueue xml messages to AQ as RAW data type. This works fine for small messages. However, when I try to enqueue a big message (219kb), I get the following:
oracle.AQ.AQOracleSQLExcpetion: data size bigger than max size for this type: 219546
Does anyone know why and how I can avoid this?
Thanks in advance

Found the answer out for tohse that may be interested.
Basically, the problem is that the Java interface to Oracle AQ uses PL/SQL. That in turn has a limit to its buffer size of 32k! So in short there is no nice way around this.
The C++ interface uses OCI. This allows you to queue messages up to 4G. If you need to send big messages (I do) then theres no other option than to go native.
Hope this will save someone the time I spent finding this out
