How is column-type inferred from java.sql.Types instance

I will wait for 2.1 to implement this feature comprehensively. Any idea when to expect 2.1 to come out?

Hi,


I noticed that the class liquibase.database.structure.Column has “int dataType” and “String typeName” instance variables. I want to know how are both of those values inferred from java.sql.Types instance. Is this not database-dependent?


Also, how are the database-independent column types resolved? Are they resolved at runtime? Are they case-sensitive? http://www.liquibase.org/manual/column

I don’t have a timeline yet. The goal is to tackle a lot of the database diff and cross-database logic. I’d like to do it all in one release, but if it’s a lot I may need to find a good break point. I’d like to not have it take much longer than the end of December.

It’s a little ugy right now in 2.0. I am currently in the middle of making a significant change to how it works, hopefully have something pushed to github by mid-next week.


If you are looking to integrate it for your clojure project, I’d suggest waiting, although it would require liquibase 2.1 for your next version.


If you want to have it work with 2.0, let me know and I’ll try to explain it.
