How to save or retrieve an array column using Hibernate

Question

I use Postgres and I have one column ufsinss character(2)[] like array. I created userType model to use, because I found some posts in google indicating the way to deal with this problem, because Hibernate doesn´t have native ways to deal with it.

My userType have this two code.

public static final String TYPE = "arrayStringType";

    public Class<String[]> returnedClass() {
        return String[].class;
    }

    @Override
    public Object nullSafeGet(ResultSet rs, String[] names, SessionImplementor sessionImpl, Object obj) throws HibernateException, SQLException {

        Array array = rs.getArray(names[0]);
        return NullUtil.isNull(array) ? null : (String[]) array.getArray(); 
   }

    @Override
    public void nullSafeSet(PreparedStatement st, Object value, int index, SessionImplementor sessionImpl) throws HibernateException, SQLException {

        Connection connection = st.getConnection();
        String[] stringArray = (String[]) value;
        Array array = connection.createArrayOf("character", stringArray);
        st.setArray(index, array);      
    }

My model entity is declared like this:

@Type(type = ArrayStringType.TYPE)
private String[] ufsInss;

But I´m getting error:

Edit 1

After change my JDBC version to postgresql-9.3-1101.jdbc41.jar now I got this error when I try to get the execute the Criteria statement from Hibernate.

Edit 3

After updating my code

@Override
public void nullSafeSet(PreparedStatement st, Object value, int index, SessionImplementor sessionImpl) throws HibernateException, SQLException {

    Connection connection = st.getConnection();
    String[] stringArray = (String[]) value;

    if (NullUtil.isNull(stringArray)) {
        st.setNull(index, IntegerType.INSTANCE.sqlType());          
    } else {            
        Array array = connection.createArrayOf("varchar", stringArray);
        st.setArray(index, array);      
    }

}

I got new error

Above had more lines error but SO limits.

What JDBC driver version are you using? It doesn't appear to implement createArrayOf. — Craig Ringer
– Craig Ringer, Commented Mar 26, 2014 at 1:58
Do you need JDBC3 for some specific reason, like a very old Java runtime? — Craig Ringer
– Craig Ringer, Commented Mar 26, 2014 at 8:58
@CraigRinger I updated my JDBC version to the latest and got this message error now. In portuguese Não foi possível encontrar tipo matriz para nome fornecido character. — user3316847
– user3316847, Commented Mar 26, 2014 at 9:12
Show the new exception please - edit the post and add the new exception text after the old one, along with the new driver version. Then comment here when done. — Craig Ringer

You had two problems:

You were using the JDBC3 driver; and
You were using the invalid type name character in your createArrayOf call. You must use a valid SQL type that matches how your table is defined, e.g. varchar or text.

Try:

Array array = connection.createArrayOf("text", stringArray);

(adjust depending on how you declared your array in the database).

In my first line of my post I told the type ufsinss character(2)[].

Craig Ringer Over a year ago

@user3316847 It looks like PgJDBC can't find an array type for character[], which is odd, as it works in SQL directly. Consider using varchar for the table definition - there's really no reason to use character anyway.

Craig Ringer Over a year ago

@user3316847 The error seems pretty self explanatory. You're trying to insert character[] into an integer field. Your SQL seems plain wrong.

@user3316847 If you have a new problem please post a new question. Also, "Got errors" is completely uninformative to anybody without some kind of psychic powers.

@DiegoMacario tried to edit with the comment You can use in the nullSafeGet this code array.getBaseTypeName(); to retrieve the type of your date, and to change text to bpchar. Edit rejected, but wanted to preserve as a comment here.

First thing you need to update yout drive, because your error is about missing one class. Later you create a class to convert...

You need to make your methods as I suggested to know the type, in your case.

NullSafeGet will be like this

Array array = rs.getArray(names[0]);        
    return NullUtil.isNull(array) ? null : (String[]) array.getArray();

Using in this method, you can retrive the type of your column, as I told. But you need to insert manually data in the column to reatrive and use this code.

String columnType = array.getBaseTypeName();

So it will return bpchar.

And you will implement the method nullSafeSet.

Connection connection = st.getConnection();
String[] stringArray = (String[]) value;

if (NullUtil.isNull(stringArray)) {
    st.setNull(index, Types.ARRAY);
} else {            
    Array array = connection.createArrayOf("bpchar", stringArray);
    st.setArray(index, array);      
}

You can use this to make with other array types, but remenber to get the type of your column.
