Map of strings can't handle more than varchar(255)
hibernate, java, jpa
Solution
I think you are using `varchar(255)`. Use a `text` column instead of `varchar(255)`.
In PostgreSQL always use text (unless of course there is a real length constraint).
Problem
Once total length of Map String(s) is greater than 255, JPA fails committing transaction. I'm using JPA 2.0 with Play 2 Framework. ``` @ElementCollection private Map<EmailNotificationType, String> mailContents = new HashMap<>(); ``` I tried @Column(length = 2048) @Lob @MapKeyColumn(length = 2048) I would like to persist as much as it's possible since its size is dynamic.
