David Jencks commented on OPENJPA-221:
--------------------------------------

I'm not in a position to easily modify the applications in question (they are 
in the tck) but if I only set storeCharsAsNumbers=false in code then I got a 
lot of openjpa unit test errors complaining that it couldn't create the table 
for AllFieldTypes, something about CHAR(255).  changing the other property 
fixed that.  If I turned off the unit tests then openjpa worked fine with 
preexisting derby tables with a CHAR column for the char field.  Is this enough 
info?

> DerbyDictionary doesn't describe a working mapping for char fields.

> If a class has a char field mapped to CHAR or CHAR(1) in a derby database, 
> the derby dictionary sets up a mapping to an integer column which doesn't 
> work.  openjpa tries to store e.g. the string "97" for the char 'a' which 
> results in a truncation error.
