title: Hibernate not creating correct fields for Clobs in MySQL
body: <p>I have a String in my Entity</p>
  
  <pre><code>@Column(length=40000)
  @Lob
  private String introText;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The column in my MySQL database that Hibernate creates for introText is a varchar(255), which doesn't jive with the column length or @Lob annotation.  Any ideas?  I'm relatively new to Hibernate, so I wonder if I'm missing any other settings or configurations.</p>
