By default GORM uses the property name and type to automatically work out a how to map a particular domain property onto the database. For example a String property is typically mapped onto a varchar(255) column. You can customize these using a method that matches the property name and passing the necessary column configuration arguments:
static mapping = {
currency column: "currency", sqlType: "char", length: 3
}
If you are using a Hibernate
type that requires multiple column definitions you can use the
column
method to define each column:
static mapping = {
amount type: MonetaryUserType, {
column name: "value"
column name: "currency", sqlType: "char", length: 3
}
}
