 * Defines handling of the standard JDBC-defined types.
 *
 * We omit certain JDBC types here solely because Hibernate does not use them itself, not due to any
 * inability to provide proper descriptors for them.  Known omissions include:<ul>
 *     <li>{@link java.sql.Types#ARRAY ARRAY}</li>
 *     <li>{@link java.sql.Types#DATALINK DATALINK}</li>
 *     <li>{@link java.sql.Types#DISTINCT DISTINCT}</li>
 *     <li>{@link java.sql.Types#STRUCT STRUCT}</li>
 *     <li>{@link java.sql.Types#REF REF}</li>
 *     <li>{@link java.sql.Types#JAVA_OBJECT JAVA_OBJECT}</li>
