Annotation Interface Column

@Target({FIELD,RECORD_COMPONENT}) @Retention(RUNTIME) public @interface Column
Specifies the mapped column for a persistent field.

If no Column annotation is specified, the default values apply.

Usage Example: 

 // DB column will have name 'DESC' and DB-specific type 'UTF8'
 @Column(name = "DESC", dbType = DbType.UTF8)
 String description;

 // Subobject's serialized representation will be written to a single BIG_SUBOBJ column
 @Column(name = "BIG_SUBOBJ", flatten = false)
 BigSubobject subobj1;

 // The subobject will be recursively "flattened" into DB columns of primitive types (string,
 // number, boolean). Each column will have the "BIG_SUBOBJ_FLAT" prefix.
 // (flatten=true is default databinding behavior and is shown here for clarity.)
 @Column(name = "BIG_SUBOBJ_FLAT", flatten = true)
 BigSubobject subobj2;

    Optional Element
    Description
    CustomValueType
    customValueType
    Specifies custom conversion logic for this column, if any.
    DbType
    dbType
    The type of the DB column.
    Defaults to automatically inferred from the field type.
    String
    dbTypeQualifier
    Qualifier for refining type representation of the DB column.
    Defaults to automatically inferred from the field type.
    boolean
    flatten
    Determines whether the composite field will be flattened into primitive-typed DB columns (flatten=true); or represented as a single field holding some serialized representation of the field's value (flatten=false).
    Defaults to true (flatten composite fields).
    Changing this parameter for a non-composite field has no effect.
    String
    name
    The name of the DB column.
    Defaults to the field name.
