[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-2669) Unequivocally map MySQL LOB types to the LONG variant

[Steve Ebersole (JIRA)]

    [ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2669?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_27216 ] 

Steve Ebersole commented on HHH-2669:
-------------------------------------

Right, specifically the discussion revolved around the default environment should be something that "just works".  For those that need to be cognizant of this, it is easy enough to supply a custom dialect reverting to the current behavior.

> 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.
