Hi James,

Yes, using @Column, @JoinColumn, @InverseJoinColumn is what I ended up doing. I had hoped that because things like column name length is  DB dependent that it would be left up to the provider to handle platform specifics if auto DDL generation is being used.  That would be a user friendly enhancement to the spec. Thanks for your feedback.
