This is a limitation of our implementation of IdGenerator for numeric and identity columns.  We tried to make these generators as flexible as possible so that they could be used with a variety of column sizes, but it’s quite likely that we forgot about the case of tinyint.  I’ll add a low priority Feature Request for this.  If you are using our implementation of the NumericIdGenerator, you could probably add this feature on your own.]]> Thu, 12 Jul 2007 15:39:04 -700 http://www.ideablade.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=205&PID=451#451 IdGenerator doesn't work with Tinyint columns : If I have a tinyint in the PK... http://www.ideablade.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=205&PID=450#450 Author: Customer

If I have a tinyint in the PK field, and even if the field is autoincrement, an exception is thrown when the newly created entity is added to the persistence manager.  I forget what the exception name was, but I could reproduce it.

I also found that when I changed the PK/autoincrement field to a smallint, the problem went away.
