-----------------------------------------

             Summary: Support Postgres casts for non-standard types such as inet, cidr, macaddr, etc.
                 Key: OPENJPA-2411
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-2411
             Project: OpenJPA
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: jdbc
    Affects Versions: 2.2.2
         Environment: postgres 9.0
            Reporter: Eric Fenderbosch


For non-standard types (inet, cidr, macaddr) you can cast to a known Postgres type with a double colon and the type.

Example:

insert into click (ip) values ('127.0.0.1'::inet)

When creating a prepared statement the placeholder marker should be '?::' instead of '?'.

This can be fixed by overriding DBDictionary.getMarkerForInsertUpdate (patch attached) and annotating the field with the non-standard type. Like this:

@Column(columnDefinition = "inet")
