Hi!
This question is raised after hearing rumours. I have not yet started trying this out by myself. Therefore, no source code, and no stacktrace is provided. Please correct me if I violate the forum etiquette!
Background
I have an application that uses Hibernate. It uses BLOBs a lot. I want it to be able to run with MySQL, SQLServer and PostgreSQL. It currently supports MySQL and SQLServer, and the switch between the two is made by a simple change of value in the Hibernate configuration file.
Question
Is it true that it won't be sufficient to just alter a configuration value to make the application work with PostgreSQL?
Is it true that, if to use PostgreSQL, the BLOB handling will require special treatment codewise in my application?
Regards,
Fredrik Israelsson
There are many posts about problems regarding the combination of blobs, PostgreSQL and Hibernate, but it seems to me the solutions provided in the answers of these posts all suggest source code specially tailored for dealing with PostgreSQL. I need to keep the transparency.[/b]
