Using SQLServerDialect, the DDL generated has wrong length(..) for strings!  Defaults char(255)!

                 Key: METAGEN-61
                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/METAGEN-61
             Project: Hibernate Metamodel Generator
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: processor
    Affects Versions: 1.1.1.Final
         Environment: Windows 7
            Reporter: Colbert Philippe
            Assignee: Hardy Ferentschik


I am using Microsoft SQL Azure as database, which is Microsoft SQL Server.   I use the dialect class org.hibernate.dialect.SQLServerDialect as indicated in the manual.

I have carefully specified the length (attribute length()) of my strings in each hbm.xml file of my project.   However, I noticed that the database uses a default 255 length for all strings in all classes of my project.   That's wrong!    

I tried creating a class with a string attribute by hand, that works.   The string has the proper length that I specified in my DDL.

Clearly there is an error in the generation of my DDL from class org.hibernate.dialect.SQLServerDialect..   It's a major error.
