[jira] [Comment Edited] (LOG4J2-424) JDBCAppender: Add support for data types other then String

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-424?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15797245#comment-15797245 ]

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

From LOG4J2-1730, I added a ColumnMapping plugin for CassandraAppender. This plugin could probably be reused to implement this feature request.

The main update here would be using ColumnMapping instead of ColumnConfig, then using {{PreparedStatement.setObject()}} instead of {{setString()}} to get JDBC driver auto-conversion.

> I am using the JDBCAppender to log to a Postgresql database. I have a table (log_entries) that's used for logging purposes. 
> One of the attributes is of type INTEGER. The attribute is something specific for our application and we are using ThreadContext (MDC) to set the value of the parameter.
> Currently, log4j provides no support for integer type attributes in the Column element of the JDBC appender configuration (the only types supported are string (default), timestamp - isEventTimestamp flag and Clob - isClob flag).
> When using the default settings in the Column element of the JDBC appender, log4j will create a prepared statement and try to set the value using the Statement.setString() method. Of course, the JDBC driver throws an exception:
> Caused by: org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: column "mn_type_d" is of type integer but expression is of type character varying
>   Hint: You will need to rewrite or cast the expression.
> My appender configuration:
>     <JDBC name="jdbcAppender" tableName="log_entries">
>       <DriverManager url="jdbc:postgresql://10.28.10.32:5432/xxx" username="xxx" password="xxx" />
>       <Column name="log_entries_id" literal="nextval('hibernate_sequence')" />
>      
>       .....
>       <Column name="message" isUnicode="false" pattern="%message" />
>       <Column name="mn_type_d" isUnicode="false" pattern="%X{mn_type_d}" /> <-- this is of type integer in the DB but LOG4J tries to insert it as a String  -->
>     </JDBC>
