 Post subject: Why do many hibernate examples use long for the id?

In most of the Hibernate examples I have read, an id type of long is used. Is there any particular reason for this?

This is currently being created as a Numeric (decimal) in my SQL Server DB, I would prefer an integer. Is there any reason, apart from length, why I should use long?

Thanks....

Length/size of the type is the primary reason. Use what ever you feel is appropriate as your the one that is aware of the design limitations and constraints.
