> 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.
