How to specify VARCHAR column length in custom data persister?

I have a custom persister which stores ZonedDateTimes as strings in my database. OrmLite is generating column definition VARCHAR(0) which is invalid in PostgreSQL.

I need to specify a length but I am not sure the best way to do it.

I know I could do something like

    @DatabaseField(columnName = "my_column",
                   persisterClass = MyCustomPersister.class,
                   columnDefinition = "VARCHAR(17)")

But I would have to do this for every declaration of a field with this datatype. That means that every field annotated with DatabaseField(persisterClass=MyCustomPersister.class) should always be in SQL a VARCHAR of length 17

Is there a way to fix this problem in the data persister?

It is enough with just overriding the method int getDefaultWidth(); in the data persister
