Automatic override of converter class

Hi,

I was having some weird issues when using a LIKE command on a fixed
size CHAR field.

It turned out to be an automatic padding of the LIKE pattern with null
character, so I was searching for something like '%foo%' and it was
being padded to '%foo%-------' (- for null char).

The thing is that this cannot be overridden because the field forces
the conversion, ignoring what you define at the mapping level.
And I think it is wrong, because you can perform a regular LIKE
operation on fixed width character fields (at least in PostgreSQL).

Has anybody experienced something like this?

Regards!

Re: Automatic override of converter class

Nevermind... I was assigning the converter before mapping the fields,
so the mapping of the field was overriding my NullConverter definition
for that field.
