-      Saravana Kannan is maintaining a patched version of Village that
-      supports Oracle LOBs:
+      Oracle has long used a custom way to access and write LOB objects,
+      and did not support standard LOB usage. However, this has changed
+      with the 10.2.0.1 version of the oracle jdbc driver.

+      For older drivers, Saravana Kannan is maintaining a patched version
+      of Village that supports Oracle LOBs:
       <a href="https://sweb.uky.edu/~skkann2/village/index.html">Village 2.0
-      Patched for Oracle LOBs - For use with Torque 3.1 and later</a>
+      Patched for Oracle LOBs - For use with Torque 3.1 and later</a>.
+      <br/>
+      For the 10.2.0.1 drivers and later, the standard village library can be
+      used. However, village 2.0. has an issue concerning null values in
+      lob columns, so empty lobs still can not be read.
