Informix is supposed to be adding types like these in the next release.  Unify
has TEXT and BINARY, and I don't think they have *any* limit (not even 64K).
IBM's DB2 and SQL/DS have long text and binary types (I forget the
designations, but they're differerent in SQL/DS and in DB2).  I'm not familiar
enough with other relationals to comment on them, except that last time I
checked, Progress didn't support either.
