Try using the Hibernate "clob" type. You can use Hibernate.createClob() to instantiate a new "fake" Clob.
Note that JDBC driver support for Clobs is patchy and inconsistent and I do not guarantee that the Clob support will work on all platforms. "Justen Stepka" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Hibernate] huge tring storage eforge.net 13/02/03 03:39 AM Regard, I am looking to store a String to the database that would be a legal contract so the amount of space necessary would be rather large in the database. What type of mapping declaration do I want for my <property .. /> tag? I have tried serializable and object but both are just not enough... I was hoping there might be some type for 'text' but that turned up dead ends. Thanks!
