increase the maximum width for displaying CLOB:
SQL> desc test
Name Null? Typ
DATA CLOB
SQL> insert into test values ('<EMPS><EMPLOYEE_ID>200</EMPLOYEE_ID>
2 <FIRST_NAME>Jennifer</FIRST_NAME>
3 <LAST_NAME>Whalen</LAST_NAME>
4 <EMAIL>JWHALEN</EMAIL>
5 <PHONE_NUMBER>515.123.4444</PHONE_NUMBER>
6 <HIRE_DATE>17-SEP-87</HIRE_DATE>
7 <JOB_ID>AD_ASST</JOB_ID>
8 <SALARY>4400</SALARY>
9 <MANAGER_ID>101</MANAGER_ID>
10 <DEPARTMENT_ID>10</DEPARTMENT_ID></EMPS');
1 row created
SQL> select * from test;
