Description

Currently to read CLOBs the low level API is required. It would be great if there was support for CLOBs in the high level API.

If I were able to get som pointers as to what this ought to look like and where to start I could have a go at contibuting this (if my Scala is up to the task!)

Research direction

Start by locating the high-level and low-level JDBC APIs that handle reading CLOBs, then compare how similar database types are exposed through the Scala API. Define the intended high-level CLOB reading behavior and verify it with focused tests before considering the feature complete.
