Correct JPA Annotation for PostgreSQL's text type without Hibernate Annotations

Question

I\'m developing an application using:

• Java 1.7
• JPA (included in javaee-api 7.0)
• Hibernate 4.3.8.Final
• PostgreSQL-JDBC 9.4-1200-jdbc4

Answer 1

I just had to add this annotation:

@Column(columnDefinition="TEXT")

It did not work on its own. I had to recreate the table in the database.

DROP TABLE yourtable or just alter column type to text with ALTER TABLE statement
