Oracle problems mapping to CHAR(1) column

[tvrtko]

I have a database column PARTNER_TYPE of type CHAR(1). The relevant part of entity class looks like this:

private String partnerType;

@Column(name = "PARTNER_TYPE", length=1)
//@Length(max = 1)
public String getPartnerType() {
 return partnerType;
}

When I run the program I get the following exception:

org.hibernate.HibernateException: Wrong column type: PARTNER_TYPE, expected: varchar2(1 char)

Then I tried:

@Column(name = "PARTNER_TYPE", length=1, columnDefinition = "CHAR(1)")

and I got

org.hibernate.HibernateException: Wrong column type: PARTNER_TYPE, expected: CHAR(1)

Then I tried:

@Column(name = "PARTNER_TYPE", length=1, columnDefinition = "CHAR")

and I got

org.hibernate.HibernateException: Wrong column type: PARTNER_TYPE, expected: CHAR

Any idea?

Oracle is sensitive to case, use:

@Column(name = "PARTNER_TYPE", length=1, columnDefinition = "char(1)")
