Envers, PostgreSQL and TINYINT

Question

We are using Envers with both Oracle and MySQL without any problem. We are now trying PostgreSQL but we have the problem that the audit tables are created with a column REVTYPE of type TINYINT.

TINYINT is not supported by PostgreSQL.

Is there a way to change the type of REVTYPE?

Example:

create table AUD_SomeTable (
  dbId bigint not null,
  ...
  REV integer not null,
  REVTYPE tinyint,
  primary key (dbId, REV)
);

EDIT:

Problem solved: I forgot the change the Hibernate dialect.

Answer 1

I don't know about about Envers, but you could create a new domain type.

CREATE DOMAIN "tinyint"
  AS smallint;

You can add CONSTRAINS to check for e.g. a postive value.

Answer 2

You should test whether this is really an Envers issue or an Hibernate issue. Try mapping an entity with a property byte type using hibernate only. If it tries to generate a tinyint column it would be a Hibernate issue.
