It has to do with the fact that typical Hibernate
dialects don't support many of the java.sql.Types
and dbcopy attempts to support them all. This
relates to DBCopy's ability to generate the table definition. So I always extend the dialect
with my own type definitions based on the database
manufacturer's datatype spec, and actual testing
against an instance of the database.
In this case, I see that SAPDB
dialect specifies more types than most other
dialects. However, since I don't have one available for testing, it would be difficult for me to test the dialect's usage in DBCopy. Would
you be interested in testing it if I made it
available in the next release?

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
An update to my previous message. I've since
downloaded and installed MaxDB. I've enhanced
the dialect for it and it will be available in
version 0.23 which I'm planning for March 31.

Why can't I select the Hibernate Dialect for SAPDB? The Dialect is part of Hibernate 3.
Thanks
