Unequivocally map MySQL LOB types to the LONG variant
-----------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HHH-2669
                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2669
             Project: Hibernate3
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: core
            Reporter: Steve Ebersole
            Assignee: Steve Ebersole
             Fix For: 3.3


MySQL differentiates different "sizes" of LOBs.  Apparently, the smaller types offer no storage benefit nor performance gain.  So we should consider mapping the LOB types in the MySQL dialect to the LON variants in all cases.  

The current setup causes truncation headaches for users, apparently unnecessarily.
