I have been using both jdbcType and javaType everytime when creating a parameterMap or resultMap. Is this necessary? I am using standard drivers for Oracle 9i. I read the documentation, but was not totally clear if there are performance issues or scalability issues by not doing this? I am just trying to figure out whether its always necessary so I can simplify the sql map files for developers and so they don't have to add unnecessary configuration. Is it only necessary when a value maybe null or using a type handler?
<resultMap id="zipCodeRegion" class="providerZipCodeTO"> <result property="zipCode" column="zrl_zip_code" jdbcType="VARCHAR" javaType="string"/> <result property="region" column="zrl_region_cd" jdbcType="VARCHAR" javaType="string"/> <result property="state" column="zrl_state" jdbcType="CHAR" javaType="string"/> <result property="tprZipCode" column="zrl_tpr_zip_flag" jdbcType="CHAR" javaType="string"/> </resultMap> <parameterMap id="loadLogParameters" class="java.util.Map"> <parameter property="startTime" jdbcType="TIMESTAMP" javaType="java.sql.Timestamp"/> <parameter property="userId" jdbcType="VARCHAR" javaType="string"/> </parameterMap> Thanks, Jay -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/When-to-use-jdbcType-or-javaType-tf2048046.html#a5640671 Sent from the iBATIS - User - Java forum at Nabble.com.
