I wish to contribute to xwiki. To begin with, I started configuring my development environment for xwiki. I have checkout out the xwiki project through svn (svn://[email protected]/svnroot/xwiki/xwiki/branches/XWIKI_WYSIWYG_NEWARCHI). I am using is MS Sql Server with Tomcat. I modified the hibernate.cfg.xml <!-- SQL Server configuration --> <property name="connection.url">jdbc:inetpool:inetdae7:stgdbsrv:1433?database=sjaiswar_xwiki_inf</property> <property name="connection.username">sa</property> <property name="connection.password">sjaiswar</property> <property name="connection.driver_class">com.inet.pool.PoolDriver</property> <property name="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.SQLServerDialect</property> The appropriate jdbc driver is also there in xwiki's lib directory. I am getting the following database error. 14:08:40,409 ERROR http-8080-Processor25 http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome XWikiHibernateBaseStore:updateSchema:340 - Failed updating schema: [STGDBSRV]The size (60000) given to the column 'XWO_CUSTOM_MAPPING' exceeds the maximum allowed for any data type (8000). It seems as the seed data are not inserted, because of which there are other invoked errors. The database driver is registered but there are datatype size limitation errors. I hope the database schema file is xwiki_db.log. I am not even able to manually execute the queries in SQL Analyzer as the queries are not getting to the Query Analyzer due to oversize. I am referring the Community resources & documentation. But then too can anybody help me how to begin with. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LOG MESSAGES 14:08:40,409 ERROR http-8080-Processor25 http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome XWikiHibernateBaseStore:updateSchema:340 -
