[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Closed: (HHH-2669) Unequivocally map MySQL LOB types to the LONG variant

Unequivocally map MySQL LOB types to the LONG variant ----------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-2669 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2669 Project: Hibernate3 Issue Type: Improvement Components: core Reporter: Steve Ebersole Assignee: Steve Ebersole Fix For: 3.3 MySQL differentiates different "sizes" of LOBs. Apparently, the smaller types offer no storage benefit nor performance gain. So we should consider mapping the LOB types in the MySQL dialect to the LON variants in all cases. The current setup causes truncation headaches for users, apparently unnecessarily.
