Hi all,


I'm using a sql server database where I have a table with a text column in it
so lets say my
description field as the type text

I mapped that column like

<property name=m_Description column=description>

and the description looked like this

private string m_Description

when I wanted to insert some text (more than 4000 characters) the text was truncated to 4000 characters.
So my question

How can I map this text column in hybernate without loosing any data when saving my object??

thanks

well the obvious answer is to increase the size of your text column or switch to another column type that . however, i think the answer you are looking for is to use a try/catch block. if you catch the exception, NH should return a "Cannot insert. Object would be truncated." error that you can handle apprioriately.

imho, your presentation layer should also do some validation that prevnts the user from entering more than whatever the maximum character count is.
