 Spring Data JDBC allows registration of custom converters to influence how values are mapped in the database.

+NOTE: In previous versions of Spring Data JDBC it was recommended to directly overwrite `AbstractJdbcConfiguration.jdbcCustomConversions()`.
+This is no longer necessary or even recommended, since that method assembles conversions intended for all databases, conversions registered by the `Dialect` used and conversions registered by the user.
+If you are migrating from an older version of Spring Data JDBC and have `AbstractJdbcConfiguration.jdbcCustomConversions()` overwritten conversions from your `Dialect` will not get registered.

+=== JdbcValue
+
+Value conversion uses `JdbcValue` to enrich values propagated to JDBC operations with a `java.sql.Types` type.
+Register a custom write converter if you need to specify a JDBC-specific type instead of using type derivation.
+This converter should convert the value to `JdbcValue` which has a field for the value and for the actual `JDBCType`.

-Custom converters can be registered, for types that are not supported by default, by inheriting your configuration from `AbstractJdbcConfiguration` and overwriting the method `jdbcCustomConversions()`.

-The constructor of `JdbcCustomConversions` accepts a list of `org.springframework.core.convert.converter.Converter`.
-
-Converters should be annotated with `@ReadingConverter` or `@WritingConverter` in order to control their applicability to only reading from or to writing to the database.
-
-`TIMESTAMPTZ` in the example is a database specific data type that needs conversion into something more suitable for a domain model.
