Yesterday, I tried to run my AppFuse application with PostgreSQL instead of
MySQL. I ran into a CLEAN_INSERT problem which was a result of an earlier
mistake. In MySQL I used a longtext type for a description field. This type
corresponds to a column JPA annotation having a length attribute with the
value '2147483647'. Obviously, this value is too high. Note, the storage
required for a 'longtext' is L + 4 bytes, where L <  2^32. According to
PostgreSQL documentation "the longest possible character string that can be
stored is about 1 GB".

In a first solution, I removed the length attribute from the JPA annotation.
PostgreSQL creates per default a
"character varying(255)" data type with a fixed limit of 255 characters. On
the database level, it is possible to  omit the limit value, the system
takes then the maximum value. But, I do not know how to specify this in a
JPA annotation. Anyway, now, my AppFuse runs with PostgreSQL, too. 

Well, that's it. I wanted to share this information with yopu as I could not
find any other thread about that.
