Question

With regards to this SO question ( JPA/Hibernate DDL generation; CHAR vs. VARCHAR ), I was wondering whether there was any functional equivalent in OpenJPA 2.0.1 to this method found in Hibernate:

protected void registerColumnType(int code, String name);

I tried to find its approximate correspondence in OpenJPA DBDictionary, but could find none, so if anyone has any idea on how to em-/si-/mulate its behaviour, I’d be much abliged.

Is there are particular reason that you can’t use the columnDefinition attribute?

@javax.persistence.Basic
@javax.persistence.Column(columnDefinition="CHAR(1)")
private String basic;
