Re: [hibernate-dev] CharacterTypeMapping within Oracle10gDialect
A CLOB is an entirely different animal than a text/char/varchar column.
I'd be somewhat surprised to find out that my Types.VARCHAR got turned
into a LOB, personally - even if they are not recommended on Oracle. Of
course you can extend the Dialect in any way you see fit, or just map
your property as a CLOB from the get go. Not that I'm not a fan of
CLOBs, I am; it's just that VARCHAR conceptually maps better to a long
than to a CLOB.
My 2 cents :)

Hi,
I just wonder if there is any reason, why the Oracle10gDialect uses the
characterTypeMapping of the Oracle9iDialect, and doesn't implement its own. As far as
I know is the usage of long-columns in Oracle10g "deprecated" and should be
replaced by clobs.
Shouldn't look the mapping something like this?
---- snippet ----
protected void registerCharacterTypeMappings() {
registerColumnType( Types.CHAR, "char(1 char)" );
registerColumnType( Types.VARCHAR, 4000, "varchar2($l char)" );
registerColumnType( Types.VARCHAR, "clob" );
}
---- snippet ----
Or are there any reasons why I should prefer the usage of long-columns within hibernate.
Best regards
Thorsten
