Hello:
I am using Hibernate tools 3.2 Eclipse plugin.

I have some data fields of type 'numeric' in a databse table. There is a rule states that the field value is either '1' or '0'.
Hibernate generation tool sets the type of those fields to boolean.

Can some explain to me why Hibernate using 'boolean' instead of 'numeric'?

Thanks

Sorry for the double post, I don't know on which forum this question should be asked

I'll assume your using the reverse engineering tools to generate your object model. I don't know what database you are using, but some numeric types are treated as booleans. For example, if you were using MySQL, a column using a type of tinyint(1) might be interpreted as a boolean. However, you can override the default behavior in the plugin.
