Schema validation fails on HSQLDB for @Type(type="text") fields --------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-6582 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-6582 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.6.6 Environment: Hibernate 3.6.6, HSQLDB 2.2.4 Reporter: Thilo-Alexander Ginkel When declaring an entity's field as @Column(name = "description", nullable = true) @Type(type="text") the schema validation fails with the following error message on HSQLDB: org.hibernate.HibernateException: Wrong column type in <table> for column description. Found: varchar, expected: longvarchar at org.hibernate.mapping.Table.validateColumns(Table.java:283) at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.validateSchema(Configuration.java:1343) at org.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl.SchemaValidator.validate(SchemaValidator.java:139) at org.hibernate.impl.SessionFactoryImpl.<init>(SessionFactoryImpl.java:378) at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.buildSessionFactory(Configuration.java:1872) at org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFactoryBean.newSessionFactory(LocalSessionFactoryBean.java:855) at org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFactoryBean.buildSessionFactory(LocalSessionFactoryBean.java:774) [...] Apparently, HSQLDB maps the longvarchar column generated by Hibernate into a varchar(16M), which confuses the validator. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
