Operating system:   windows
Description:

I have a table with TEXT column in it.. When I used version 8.3.21
previously, getClob() worked to retrieve the column's data.. but now its not
working.. getString() is working and I am using that to retrieve the value.
I want to provide a check inorder to use the right statement. So please tell
me what that check should be?
