Christian Beikov ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=557058%... ) *commented* on HHH-16986 ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-16986?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiNjQyMW... ) Re: CoercionException caused by attempted coercion of query param to entity field type ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-16986?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiNjQyMW... ) Just a quick idea, how about we always resolve to BigDecimal for parameters in arithmetic expressions when * no type inference info is available * other operands have exact types (i.e. no Float , Double ) If other operands are of the types Float or Double , then we resolve to Double. I think this could work because thanks to coercion, we can coerce all numbers to BigDecimal. One effect of that would simply be that the result type of queries like select 1 * ?1 will be BigDecimal.
