Description

When database schema information is read by the generator from the database and an unknown datatype is encountered, a NullPointerException occurs:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.apache.torque.generator.source.jdbc.JdbcMetadataSource.createRootElement(JdbcMetadataSource.java:215)
at org.apache.torque.generator.source.SourceImpl.getRootElement(SourceImpl.java:48)
at org.apache.torque.generator.control.Controller.processSourceInOutput(Controller.java:256)

In such cases, type information should be omitted from the generated schema to indicate that the type is unknown.
