PL/SQL has data type NVARCHAR2(size) where the size is 32767 bytes; equivalent to 4095 records.

Now, what data type should i give as an alternative to NVARCHAR2 that could support more than 4k records? I have a gridview in asp.net that doesn’t support paging. Which datatype is most suitable to support more than 4095 records?

    Is this just text? You could use CLOB:

    The CLOB data type stores single-byte and multibyte character data.
    Both fixed-width and variable-width character sets are supported, and
    both use the database character set. CLOB objects can store up to (4
    gigabytes -1) * (the value of the CHUNK parameter of LOB storage) of
    character data. If the tablespaces in your database are of standard
    block size, and if you have used the default value of the CHUNK
    parameter of LOB storage when creating a LOB column, then this is
    equivalent to (4 gigabytes – 1) * (database block size).

    You can check same page for other types (BLOB, NCLOB) for storing large amounts of data.
