Issue with Multiple TEXT Columns in One Table?

I have a vague memory of being wary of using too many TEXT datatype columns in an individual table, but I can't seem to find any specific information about it. I think it was an issue with Oracle at some point, but my memory is hazy. Is there anything I should be concerned about if a single table has multiple TEXT columns defined? If so, how many is too many?

I'm defining a table with 6 TEXT columns and a few other VARCHAR columns and I want to make sure that it won't be an issue before I do it. It's a table that should see a lot of traffic, and if moving those fields to another table would help, I'll do that. I'm using 9i. Thanks!
 
Please ignore this question, I'm getting my databases confused. This was/is a SQL Server issue. Sorry!
