A new topic, '[LB1.9.3] Internal datatype conversion to target databases', has 
been made on a board you are watching.

The text of the topic is shown below:

Trying LiquiBase for the first time I think this tool can help me upgrading my 
databases. Planning this for both MySQL and Oracle with the same changelog I 
found some data type conversion issues. For some types the the internal 
LiquiBase is not converted to the correct target database type or a possibly 
better fit is available. The table below lists the internal LiquiBase types as 
well as the target database types for Oracle and MySQL. Another column is added 
with the requested data type.

LiquiBase typeOracleRequestedMySQLRequestedDOUBLEDOUBLENUMBER or 
FLOATDOUBLELONGVARCHARCLOBTEXTLONG TEXTTINYINTTINYINTNUMBER(3) 
?TINYINTVARCHARVARCHARVARCHAR2VARCHAR
The double and tinyint are the most curious, Oracle doesn't event accept these 
as datatype and can be considered a bug. The VARCHAR is now automatically 
converted to varchar2 but possibly Liquibase can do this. 

For MySQL the LONGVARCHAR, can this be set to LONG TEXT? The Liquibase type 
TEXT gives support for normal length TEXT fields, then the LONGVARCHAR can 
support LONG TEXT, or should a additional type be added to the Liquibase for 
long text fields in MySQL?

Chris
