While in theory this could work I would not recommend it. If you try you'd
want to make sure your memory settings (and actual memory) can handle that
much data.
The first question to ask yourself (and tell others) is WHY you want to do
this. For a document this large you should first consider storing the data
outside of the database and simply putting a "pointer" to said file in the
database.
A second option would be to compress the text file and use the "large object
api" to manipulate the data (or simply a bytea if the compressed data is
small enough).
I do not handle anything near that size so actual technical help I can
provide is limited. For me I store text or bytea documents using the simple
"setObject/setString" methods and make sure my head memory allocation and
other memory settings are sufficiently large for processing the data through
Java.
