How can I allow a regular user to create tables with Varchar2(32767) columns?
When I issue this command under a regular user:

CREATE TABLE TestVarchar32767 (A VARCHAR2(32767))
It throws this error:

Error starting at line : 1 in command -
CREATE TABLE HttpingTestVarchar32767 (A VARCHAR2(32767))
Error report -
SQL Error: ORA-00910: specified length too long for its datatype
00910. 00000 -  "specified length too long for its datatype"
*Cause:    for datatypes CHAR and RAW, the length specified was > 2000;
           otherwise, the length specified was > 4000.
*Action:   use a shorter length or switch to a datatype permitting a
           longer length such as a VARCHAR2, LONG CHAR, or LONG RAW
But if I issue it under SYS as SYSDBA, then it works.

To allow this you must set the parameter MAX_STRING_SIZE to EXTENDED (please read the link before taking this action).

Also read SYS/SYSDBA is special.
