Setting column length of a Long value with JPA annotations
- by Gearóid
Hi,
I'm performing a little database optimisation at the moment and would like to set the column lengths in my table through JPA. So far I have no problem setting the String (varchar) lengths using JPA as follows:
@Column(unique=true, nullable=false, length=99)
public String getEmail() {
return email;
}
However, when I want to do the same for a column which is of type Long (bigint), it doesn't work. For example, if I write:
@Id
@Column(length=7)
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
public Long getId() {
return id;
}
The column size is still set as the default of 20. Are we able to set these lengths in JPA or am I barking up the wrong tree?
Thanks,
Gearoid.
