Incorrect MySQL DDL Generation for integer types
------------------------------------------------

                 Key: OPENJPA-455
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-455
             Project: OpenJPA
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.0.1, 1.0.0
            Reporter: Michael Dick


Opening a JIRA report on Tim's behalf. 

I turned the schema tool loose on a MySQL production database this
afternoon and it failed. The essence of the problem appears that DDL was
being generated with a type declaration of this form:

int unsigned(10)

In MySQL, the proper form is:

int(10) unsigned

viz:

ALTER TABLE fubar MODIFY col1 int(10) unsigned;

Checking other options indicates that similar constructs such as CREATE
TABLE are likewise defective.

I looked at the svn trunk head source code in
org.apache.openjpa.jdbc.sql.MySQLDictionary.java and the parent class
DBDictionary.java. The offending method appears to be:

1508:     public String getTypeName(Column col)

This method has no override in MySQLDictionary, but apparently needs
one. I think it's a minor mod, but I'm not currently set up to build and
test in the environment where the offending database exists.

This is a SEVERE error. It causes generation of defective SQL for
SQL-generating options and causes live updates to schemas to fail.

I don't have a Jira login at present, so if someone could log this, it
would be appreciated.

  Thanks,

   Tim Holloway
