Mapping custom column type with PostgreSQL and Hibernate

Hibernate ORM
1

Hi everybody,

I’m trying to map a custom column type. But, when I get the result I have to split the column’s values as the custom type is stored as (v1, v2, v3, v4, v5, v6, v7); it works!

But, when I try to save a new row in the db withe the following short example:

	Transaction tr = session.beginTransaction();
	LoggedUser.logIn("test");
	
	Fields p = new Fields();
	CustomField cf = new CustomField();
	cf.setF_int(7);
	cf.setF_long(235L);
	p.setFieldtypeID(1);
	p.setCustomfield(cf);
	p.setId(0);
	
	session.save(p);

I have the message:

[19-12-2018 09:13:08.074] [main 1] ERROR org.hibernate.engine.jdbc.spi.SqlExceptionHelper logExceptions - ERROR: malformed record literal: "luminare.model.CustomField@d1d8e1a"
  Detail: Missing left parenthesis.

Any suggestion? Thanks in advance

These are the software parts:

It’s not clear from the error message what the problem is. You need to add the SQL code generated by Hibernate and the log at the moment the exception is thrown to see exactly what the Driver has complaint about.

The problem comes from this line:

st.setObject(index, customField, Types.OTHER);

PostgreSQL does not know how to save a Java Object, so it calls toString() and that’s why you get the failure.

Now, UserType is for persisting data in one column only, but your custom PostgreSQL type is a struct, and it requires persisting data in multiple columns. Therefore, you should implement the CompositeType instead and set all the underlying columns that build the custom type.

Thank you Vlad, I’ll try to do it and I’ll let you know

I tried to do it, but it is not working yet. Hibernate maps the column of the custom field as table’s columns.
Maybe I did some mistakes in the mapping.

The composite type was designed for setting multiple columns, but this custom PostgreSQL type hides those columns behind a single virtual column.

Hibernate does not support custom PostgreSQL types natively, so you need to go to the PostgreSQL forum and ask them how to persist custom PostgreSQL types using JDBC. Once you know how to do it in JDBC, you could try to see what Hibernate type is more suitable.

Hello Vlad and Happy New Year.

I found the solution, it is Postgres specific but I think it can be adapted to other DB engines like Oracle/MySQL and so on.

Hope this can help other developers!

CREATE TYPE ${dbSchema}.customfield AS
(
       f_int                      INTEGER,
       f_long                     BIGINT,
       f_float                    DOUBLE PRECISION,
       f_date                     DATE,
       f_text                     TEXT,

Thanks for providing a solution. I’m glad it works now.

Hi,

Sorry to revive this old conversation :frowning:
i can’t understand your solution,

What’s “@Table(name = “fields”, schema = LUDBConfig.LUSchema)” for ?
LUDBConfig.LUSchema is equal to ?
What’s the value of ${dbSchema} ?
