SQL Server Dialect maps BIGINT to NUMERIC(19,0) ----------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-3135 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3135 Project: Hibernate3 Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.2.5 Environment: MS SQL Server Reporter: Dominik Enkelmann Priority: Trivial The SQLServerDialect.java maps the Hibernate BIGINT type to a NUMERIC(19,0) colum. The result is, that all Long fields in persisten classes map to hibernate-bigints which generate numeric(19,0) database column. Longs are typically used for surrogate primary keys and should be implemented as native SQL BIGINTs where possible. SQL Server supports SQL BIGINT since version 2000. There is a similar issue with the SQL BIT type that should be implemented as a native BIT column in SQL Server. A possible solution could be a pre-.SQL Server 2000 dialect and an updated SQL Server dialect.
