Hi.
An application sql table I'm working on has a varchar(4) field that, according to the information I had, is only supposed to
hold two values, '0' or '1'.
I coded the value for that column as an enum in ejb3 previously, believing it would be specified in the database as
a tinyint or int. But the column has '1bbb' (b for blank), and none of them have '0bbb'.
I've tried to code it in the enum as:
0("0"), 1("1");
which gave me a compile error, and also tried:
"0"("0"), "1"("1");
which also gave a compile error.
Does anyone know if it's possible to code an enum such that a varchar field will hold numbers ?
I've argued that the field should be a tinyint, but to no avail. It's complicated.
I believe I'll have to code it as a String in the ejb and associated beans.....
Thanks.....
