Description Jan Horvath 2007-07-31 17:16:56 UTC

Length attribute should be added in @Column annotations in classes generated by Entity Classes from Database. Without this attribute, database recreated 
using toplink "Create Tables" option differs from the original DB.

Implementation for string columns

Comment 2 Andrei Badea 2007-10-30 15:01:09 UTC

I implemented the length attribute for string columns, and the implementation for the precision and scale attributes
would be similar. However, I'm a bit wary to commit it so late in the release cycle. The generated code is highly
dependent on the implementations of JDBC drivers, so it needs to be tested properly by both QE and users. So I propose
postponing this for the next release.

Checked in the attached implementation by Andrei.

Please verify it in 6.5 M1

Comment 5 Dongmei Cao 2008-06-10 01:02:23 UTC

The "length" attribute will be generated only if the Attributes for Regenerating schema is checked in the very last step
of the wizard.
