[Jeroen van Schagen (JIRA)]

Schema validator - (PostgreSQL) serial type not recognized as integer
---------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HHH-6179
                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-6179
             Project: Hibernate Core
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Jeroen van Schagen


PostgreSQL serial types are not recognized as integers, causing the schema validator to fail in the following situation:

CREATE TABLE posts (id serial PRIMARY KEY, message varchar(255), date timestamp) ;

@Entity
@Table(name = "posts")
public class Post {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    private Long id;
    private String message;
    private Date date;

}

---

org.hibernate.HibernateException: Wrong column type in public.posts for column id. Found: serial, expected: int8

---

The validator should not fail, because serial types are actually auto-incrementing integer types.
