[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Created: (HHH-3579) Support for PostgreSQL UUID data type

Support for PostgreSQL UUID data type ------------------------------------- Key: HHH-3579 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3579 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: New Feature Components: core Affects Versions: 3.3.1 Reporter: Olivier Van Acker PostgreSQL has since version 8.3 UUID as data type nativly supported in the database. The only way to get this to work in Hibernate is to add <column name="id" sql-type="uuid"/> to your mappings file (or @columnDefinition via annotations) and create your own custom usertype (e.g. public class UUIDUserType implements UserType, Serializable {..} ) and map this to java.util.UUID worth mentioning is that java.util.UUID is only introduced in java 1.5 so there might be a backwards compatibility problem -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
