Ok, I will try VarChar. For the segment size, I was using the default one
32K. Is there any speed penalty to using a smaller one?

Also, I'm reducing the block size of some TEXT, real ones this time. As far
as I understand I need to rebuild the database to allows this, right? What
is the best way, dumping in XML and reloading? I've seen OBL_Dump but
nothing to reload the database. Is there any sample code or documentation?

Thanks,

Éric
