- the behavior of String/Unicode types regarding that they auto-convert
to TEXT/CLOB when no length is present now occurs *only* for an exact type
of String or Unicode with no arguments. If you use VARCHAR or NCHAR
(subclasses of String/Unicode) with no length, they will be interpreted
by the dialect as VARCHAR/NCHAR; no "magic" conversion happens there.
This is less surprising behavior and in particular this helps Oracle keep
string-based bind parameters as VARCHARs and not CLOBs [ticket:793].
