What changes were proposed in this pull request?
The PR reverts 529f2d5 (PR #40683) due to a performance regression when writing to an Oracle database due to columns are not being created as CLOB instead of VARCHAR2.
Performance was confirmed by internal benchmark of writing 20 string fields to an Oracle database. Previously the SQL statement would finish within 2 min, with the master branch it takes over 10 min (and I cancel the job, it could be running for longer).
