TEXT Data Type

Hi im using version 7.2, and im trying to insert very large strings into the TEXT field but i keep getting: parser error "000";
I noticed i get that error when the string is over 50-60 characters long, I thought the TEXT feild had no limit. Here is my code:

String sqlStr = "INSERT INTO news_articles VALUES
("'"+author+"', '"+title+"', '"+TheLargeString+"')";
PreparedStatement pstmt = con.prepareStatement(sqlStr);
pstmt.executeUpdate();

thanks in advance for the help
