Question

I’m using Grails 1.3.7 + MySQL 5.5 + Liquibase through the database-migration plugin 0.2.1.

When I’m in my development environment, I have Hibernate configured to use “create-drop” but in my QA environment, I want to use liquibase to create my tables. Here is my environments config:

environments {
    development {
        dataSource {
            configClass = GrailsAnnotationConfiguration.class
            pooled = false
            driverClassName = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
            username = "root"
            password =  ""
            dialect = "org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5InnoDBDialect"
            dbCreate = "create-drop"
            url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/dripita_dev"      
        }
    }
    localQa {
        dataSource {
            configClass=GrailsAnnotationConfiguration.class
            pooled=false
            driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
            username="root"
            password=""
            dialect="org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5InnoDBDialect"
            url="jdbc:mysql://localhost/dripita_localqa"        
        }
    }
 ...
}

When I bring the app up in dev mode, the database tables are create fine. I do the following to create the changelog:

$ grails dbm-generate-gorm-changelog changelog.groovy

Which looks like this:

changeSet(author: "javidjamae (generated)", id: "1309959832163-2") {
    createTable(tableName: "payment") {
        column(autoIncrement: "true", name: "id", type: "bigint") {
            constraints(nullable: "false", primaryKey: "true", primaryKeyName: "paymentPK")
        }

        column(name: "version", type: "bigint") {
            constraints(nullable: "false")
        }

        column(name: "buyer_id", type: "bigint") {
            constraints(nullable: "false")
        }

        column(name: "buyer_information_id", type: "bigint")

        column(name: "currency", type: "varchar(255)") {
            constraints(nullable: "false")
        }

        column(name: "discount_cart_amount", type: "decimal(19,2)") {
            constraints(nullable: "false")
        }

        column(name: "paypal_transaction_id", type: "varchar(255)")

        column(name: "status", type: "varchar(9)") {
            constraints(nullable: "false")
        }

        column(name: "tax", type: "double precision(19)") {
            constraints(nullable: "false")
        }

        column(name: "transaction_id", type: "varchar(255)")
    }
}

Then I try to create the tables from the changelog:

$ grails -Dgrails.env=localQa dbm-update

But, when I run the dbm-update, I get the following error:

When I copy/paste the create statement in MySQL, I get the same error. I even took the ENGINE=InnoDB off to see if that made a difference, but it didn’t. Any ideas?

FYI: I installed MySQL using HomeBrew on my Mac.

Answer 1

My guess is that your QA db doesn’t know what the datatype double precision(19) is.
Try changing it to just double precision.

If that fails, consider using another datatype: The doc says that double precision is a “nonstandard variation”
