Question

I’m having an issue creating my Oracle DB with schemaexport function of NHibernate.
For a property defined as byte[], it creates a DB field of type RAW (btw limited to 2000 byte).
This field type is not enough for my needs, and I need NH to create a blob field instead.
How can I achive that?
I tried declaring the field in the mapping file (I use xml mapping, thus hbm files) specifying either type=”Binary” and type=”BinaryBlob”, but none of those seems to have the desired effects: the created field is always a RAW.
Can anyone help me here?

Answer 1

<property name="prop">
  <column name="blobcolumn" sql-type="BinaryBlob">
</property>

Update: maybe this could also do the trick

<property name="prop" type="Binary" length="1000000"/>
