Re:How to Customize DB Column Size in Plugin

[venka reddy, módosítva 11 év-val korábban]

Hi ,

How can we Customize column size in Plugin? , I have read a documentation, we can modify column size in EXT at Portal-model-hints.xml.

It works the same way for portlets, you edit : docroot/WEB-INF/src/META-INF/portlet-model-hints.xml after you have run ant build-service

hi jelmer,

Thanks for your reply

I have modified portlet-model-hints.xml as below.

<model-hints>
<hint-collection name="CLOB">
<hint name="max-length">2000000</hint>
</hint-collection>

<model name="xxxxxxxxxx">
<field name="Content" type="String" >
<hint-collection name="CLOB" />
</field>

I have noticed It is updated in tables.sql as ,
content TEXT null,

But is not updated in DB still content type is VARCHAR

Hi Jitendra,

I have gone through your link and same steps i have implemented in my plugin.

But not reflected in my DB , Still it shows its DATATYPE is VARCHAR.

I think once table is added with column type varchar , it cannot update to TEXT.

Is my guess correct?

If you want to change the datatype than you have to do that change in service.xml first, and than you need to do ant build service again.

[Jitendra Rajput, módosítva 11 év-val korábban]

First of check if your changes are getting reflected or not . Verify from your log is that any BuildNumber error if so then you database changes wont be reflected.

Hi,

My Service .properties as follows


include-and-override=service-ext.properties

build.namespace=Sample
build.number=486
build.date=1338904122042
build.auto.upgrade=true

spring.configs=\
WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/base-spring.xml,\
\
WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/hibernate-spring.xml,\
WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/infrastructure-spring.xml,\
\
WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/cluster-spring.xml,\
\
WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/portlet-spring.xml,\
\
WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/dynamic-data-source-spring.xml,\
WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/shard-data-source-spring.xml,\
\
WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/ext-spring.xml


and my servicecomponent table is


11501, 'Sample', 485, 1335936754156,

By observing this , i think it will not generate BuildNumber error

Hi,
I am not sure that LR is able to update an already deployed schema. Can you try to drop the table and deploy the service again? (you have to run a service-build task before deploying it)
Which LR are you running?

Liferay should be able to handle that. This might be a regression (to check). I'm familiar with the process describe in the second post, and it looks right to me.

@venka : Can you try to add a field in your entity, build the service again, and re-deploy your plugin to see if it works that way ?

I had previous experience on LR 5.2.2 CE not being able to update the schema. Thats why I was asking about the LR version.

Hi Alexandre FILLATRE,

I am using LR 6.0.5

As you have suggested, i have changed as below

portlet-models-hints.xml

<model-hints>
<hint-collection name="CLOB">
<hint name="max-length">2000000</hint>
</hint-collection>

<model name="xxxxxxxxxx">
<field name="Content" type="String" >
<hint-collection name="CLOB" />
</field>

Modified portlet-models-hints.xml

<model-hints>
<hint-collection name="CLOB">
<hint name="max-length">2000000</hint>
</hint-collection>

<model name="xxxxxxxxxx">
<field name="description" type="String" >
<hint-collection name="CLOB" />
</field>
<field name="Content" type="String" >
<hint-collection name="CLOB" />
</field>

tables.SQL
title TEXT null,
description TEXT null,

I have built the service and deploy the portlet no changes In DB , Still my "description" DATATYPE is VARCHAR
