Description

James Clark opened DATAJDBC-379 and commented

We should add the ability to disable auto-applied custom converters. I.E. just because a conversion exists, doesn't mean it should be used by default. We should then provide a "@Convert" annotation, similar to the JPA one, that allows columns to specify which converter to use

The payload names no source files or tests. Start by reviewing the linked DATACMNS-1036 dependency, then confirm the intended API for disabling automatic custom converters and selecting one with @Convert; done is an agreed implementation of both behaviors.
