Hibernate version:

Name and version of the database you are using:
PostGreSQL V8.0.x

Hello,

I try to use ant Task "schemaupdate" of Hiberntate archive to change type of my column.

Do you know if this functionality is avaible ?

The SQL script for this database is very simple is :

Do you have a solution ?

perhaps you could try to explain what you are trying to do in a different way. how does this relate to the tools suite?

Hello,

I develop an application with Hibernate Component (version 2.1.8). I try the Hibernate to see if this problem, for me, is resolved.

So I have an objet with attributes String



When i use "ShemaExport" of Hibernate 2.1.8 (ant Task), i obtain this schma
TABLE MYCLASS
COLUMN MYVALUE VARCHAR(255)

In the next ieration of my application, 255 characters for my attributes, it is limited too much. So i changed my configuration of Hibernate and my new code is :



When i use "ShemaUdpate" of Hibernate 2.1.8 (ant Task), i think this task have capacity to change property of colum. The SQL command is very simple : (for e.g. ALTER TABLE MYCLASS ALTER COLUMN myValue TYPE text )

I hope you obtain more information about my problem.

Tks for your help

in the mapping file for this class, find the property element that corresponds to this property.

what happens if you set the length attribute to something > 255 ?
