Schema validation fails on HSQLDB for @Type(type="text") fields
---------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HHH-6582
                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-6582
             Project: Hibernate Core
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 3.6.6
         Environment: Hibernate 3.6.6, HSQLDB 2.2.4
            Reporter: Thilo-Alexander Ginkel


When declaring an entity's field as
  @Column(name = "description", nullable = true)
  @Type(type="text")
the schema validation fails with the following error message on HSQLDB:

org.hibernate.HibernateException: Wrong column type in <table> for column description. Found: varchar, expected: longvarchar
        at org.hibernate.mapping.Table.validateColumns(Table.java:283)
        at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.validateSchema(Configuration.java:1343)
        at org.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl.SchemaValidator.validate(SchemaValidator.java:139)
        at org.hibernate.impl.SessionFactoryImpl.<init>(SessionFactoryImpl.java:378)
        at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.buildSessionFactory(Configuration.java:1872)
        at org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFactoryBean.newSessionFactory(LocalSessionFactoryBean.java:855)
        at org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFactoryBean.buildSessionFactory(LocalSessionFactoryBean.java:774)
        [...]

Apparently, HSQLDB maps the longvarchar column generated by Hibernate into a varchar(16M), which confuses the validator.
