labels truncated at 256 chars

[Umberto Nicoletti]

This is almost surely a limitation of oracle spatial.
You could try to recompile mapserver after editing the
maporaclespatial.c file at about line 58 where it says:

#define TEXT_SIZE                  256

and set TEXT_SIZE to a higher number.
HTH,
