+### version 2.6.8: Fix return long data type with lob prefetch option:
+* know you can return up to 0x3FFFFFFF of data from long coumn type
+* examples/long insert 0x3FFF bytes of data into long column and query it again
+* for large data size better use `lob fetch=post`
 ### version 2.6.5: Add New Url Options (Language and Territory)
 * this will control the language of the server messages
