PSQLException: ERROR: operator does not exist: character varying = uuid

I have this repository:

@Repository
public interface DomainRepository extends CrudRepository<Domain, String> {
    Domain findByUuid(UUID uuid);
}

I have this entity:

@Entity
@Data
@AllArgsConstructor
@NoArgsConstructor
@Table(name="a", schema="b")
public class Domain {
    @Id
    private String id;
    private UUID uuid;

}

But when I do Domain d = domainRepository.findByUuid(UUID.randomUUID());

I get PSQLException: ERROR: operator does not exist: character varying = uuid (column type in table is VARCHAR).

How to fix this?

Solution

  • Try defining the type for the field as Hibernate unable to understand the type by annotating field with @Type(type="org.hibernate.type.UUIDCharType")

    @Type(type="org.hibernate.type.UUIDCharType")
private UUID id;
