Hi,

I am using Hibernate 3.0. I have a column mapping a String to a varchar(255) in mySQL. I upped the size of the column in the DB to varchar(2048) and restarted the server, but it seems that Hibernate is still cutting off the text at the old limit (255).

Is there something else that needs to be modified?
