Class TypeNames

    java.lang.Object
      org.hibernate.dialect.TypeNames

    public class TypeNames

extends Object

This class maps a type to names. Associations may be marked with a capacity. Calling the get() method with a type and actual size n will return the associated name with smallest capacity >= n, if available and an unmarked default type otherwise. Eg, setting

            names.put(type,        "TEXT" );
            names.put(type,   255, "VARCHAR($l)" );
            names.put(type, 65534, "LONGVARCHAR($l)" );

will give you back the following:

      names.get(type)         // --> "TEXT" (default)
      names.get(type,    100) // --> "VARCHAR(100)" (100 is in [0:255])
      names.get(type,   1000) // --> "LONGVARCHAR(1000)" (1000 is in [256:65534])
      names.get(type, 100000) // --> "TEXT" (default)

On the other hand, simply putting

            names.put(type, "VARCHAR($l)" );

would result in

      names.get(type)        // --> "VARCHAR($l)" (will cause trouble)
      names.get(type, 100)   // --> "VARCHAR(100)"
      names.get(type, 10000) // --> "VARCHAR(10000)"
