Using SQLServerDialect, the DDL generated has wrong length(..) for strings! Defaults char(255)! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: METAGEN-61 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/METAGEN-61 Project: Hibernate Metamodel Generator Issue Type: Bug Components: processor Affects Versions: 1.1.1.Final Environment: Windows 7 Reporter: Colbert Philippe Assignee: Hardy Ferentschik I am using Microsoft SQL Azure as database, which is Microsoft SQL Server. I use the dialect class org.hibernate.dialect.SQLServerDialect as indicated in the manual. I have carefully specified the length (attribute length()) of my strings in each hbm.xml file of my project. However, I noticed that the database uses a default 255 length for all strings in all classes of my project. That's wrong! I tried creating a class with a string attribute by hand, that works. The string has the proper length that I specified in my DDL. Clearly there is an error in the generation of my DDL from class org.hibernate.dialect.SQLServerDialect.. It's a major error. -- 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
