Hi everyone, is it possible to add this typecast in custom ColumnType before inserting value to database ?

Hi @Sahit Sadono Depending on the logic in your custom ColumnType, a good place to add the type cast would be in nonNullValueToString(), something like:

override fun nonNullValueToString(value: Any): String {
    return "${super.nonNullValueToString(value)}::geography"
}

This should add the typecast whenever an input value is provided to the column for processing before being sent to the database, so inserts and updates.
