Data How to declare an array to take more than 10,000 characters

Hi Guys
Need some help

I am reading the string values from the text files into the shell script and had them feed into array
I have declared an associative array as
TYPE t_user_id_tab IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(3000);\n
my_user_id t_user_id_tab;\n
varchar2 is limiting me to take only 32760 characters
but I have a text files which has more than 1100 users with length of each user id is 8
1100* 8 = 8800 + the '',sapces

so I am looking around 10,000 characters is there a way that I can declare the array of string to take 10,00 characters

Thanks in advance
Pinky

KEY(3)									 1								    KEY(3)

key - Fetch a key from an array

SYNOPSIS
mixed key (array &$array) DESCRIPTION
key(3) returns the index element of the current array position. PARAMETERS
o $array - The array. RETURN VALUES
The key(3) function simply returns the key of the array element that's currently being pointed to by the internal pointer. It does not move the pointer in any way. If the internal pointer points beyond the end of the elements list or the array is empty, key(3) returns NULL. EXAMPLES
Example #1 key(3) example <?php $array = array( 'fruit1' => 'apple', 'fruit2' => 'orange', 'fruit3' => 'grape', 'fruit4' => 'apple', 'fruit5' => 'apple'); // this cycle echoes all associative array // key where value equals "apple" while ($fruit_name = current($array)) { if ($fruit_name == 'apple') { echo key($array).'<br />'; } next($array); } ?> The above example will output: fruit1<br /> fruit4<br /> fruit5<br /> SEE ALSO
