I try to use the EJB3 timer service with Oracle DS. First of all I have to use a non XA connection, is the XA protocol not needed? If I use a local-tx-datasource the table can not created because of an illegal data type. The Statement: anonymous wrote : CREATE TABLE QRTZ_JOB_DETAILS(JOB_NAME VARCHAR(80) NOT NULL, JOB_GROUP VARCHAR(80) NOT NULL, DESCRIPTION VARCHAR(120) NULL, JOB_CLASS_NAME VARCHAR(128) NOT NULL, IS_DURABLE VARCHAR(1) NOT NULL, IS_VOLATILE VARCHAR(1) NOT NULL, IS_STATEFUL VARCHAR(1) NOT NULL, REQUESTS_RECOVERY VARCHAR(1) NOT NULL, JOB_DATA BINARY NULL, PRIMARY KEY (JOB_NAME,JOB_GROUP)) will not work. The type BINARY is not valid for Oracle. Do I have to patch the ejb3-timer-service.xml if I change the DB for it or is there a configuration for the different DB types?
