[jira] Commented: (OPENJPA-756) Mapping tool fails with duplicate unique constraint on @Id field if @Column(unique=true)

["Jeremias Maerki (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-756?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12707270#action_12707270 ] 

Jeremias Maerki commented on OPENJPA-756:
-----------------------------------------

If the primary key field is a String (ex. a URI as in my case), even the work-around doesn't help:

@Id
@Column(name="URI")
public String getUriString() {
    return this.uriString;
}

OpenJPA 1.2.1 creates for Derby:
CREATE TABLE RepresentationType (URI VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, contentType VARCHAR(255), PRIMARY KEY (URI), CONSTRAINT UNQ_URI UNIQUE (URI))

>             Project: OpenJPA
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: sql
>    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
>         Environment: Derby, Oracle, possibly other DBs
>            Reporter: Jeremy Bauer
>            Priority: Minor

> The runtime mapping tool (openjpa.jdbc.SynchronizeMappings=buildSchema) fails to create a table if the @Column annotation with unique=true attribute is specified on a field tagged with @Id.  ex:
>     @Id
>     @Column(name="uniqueid", unique=true)
>     private int id;
> OpenJPA generates a unique constraint on the field along with the primary key constraint.  Derby, Oracle, and possibly other databases fail with a message to the effect that  OpenJPA is trying to create a duplicate constraint.  Primary keys are unique by definition so OpenJPA should not create the unnecessary extra unique constraint.
> Here's an example of the failure using Derby:
> Constraints 'UNQ_' and 'SQL081030035840490' have the same set of columns, which is not allowed.  {stmnt 2175170 CREATE TABLE UniqueIDEntity (uniqueid INTEGER NOT NULL, name VARCHAR(255), PRIMARY KEY (uniqueid), CONSTRAINT UNQ_ UNIQUE (uniqueid))} [code=30000, state=42Z93]
> Some database may allow/require this behavior, so investigation will need to be done to determine if there will be special handling for some databases vs. others.
> The simple workaround is to remove the unique attribute on an @Id column.
