Hi Alan, In this case the dictionaries usually either stay with the default value from DBDictionary or, where possible, emulate the unsupported type by using some other which they do support, e.g.:
clobTypeName = "VARCHAR"; tinyintTypeName = "SMALLINT"; If you are wondering how to do the mapping, some guidance is put in a JDBC tutorial [1]. I don't remember seeing any dictionary setting a *TypeName to null, so this might be a risky road. As for the xmlTypeName it is OK to stay with the default value from DBDictionary. The TestBasicAnnotation.java is a good test case for checking a dictionary in this area.
