Annotation Type DbArray

@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Target(value=FIELD)
public @interface DbArray

Specify a collection property that will be stored into a DB ARRAY type.

If the target database does not support ARRAY type (so not Postgres) then the collection will be stored in JSON format into a VARCHAR column.

Example:

// Store as ARRAY of UUID on Postgres
@DbArray
List<UUID> uids = new ArrayList<>();

// Store as ARRAY on Postgres
@DbArray
List<String> phoneNumbers = new ArrayList<>();

// Store as ARRAY of INTEGER on Postgres
@DbArray
List<Long> someLongs = new ArrayList<>();
