[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Resolved: (HHH-2304) Wrong type detection for sql type char(x) columns

Wrong type detection for sql type char(x) columns ------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-2304 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2304 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Components: core Affects Versions: 3.2.0.ga Environment: Hibernate 3.2.0, Oracle 9.2, Oracle JDBC driver 10.2 Reporter: Markus Heiden Assignee: Strong Liu Fix For: 3.6.8, 4.0.0.next Attachments: hibernate.zip When executing a sql query which returns columns of sql type char(x), a java.lang.Character is returned. This leads to returning just the first character of the value. In my eyes a String should be returned when the char(x) type has a width > 1. I wasn't able to determine whether this is a jdbc driver issue or a hibernate issue. When using sql type char(x) for columns of entities no such problems occur. Test case is attached.
