Ralf Grewe ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=70121%3... ) *commented* on HHH-16650 ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-16650?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiY2UzMm... ) Re: Loss in precision due usage of Float data type instead of BigDecimal in case Oracle JDBC driver returning -127 for scale and 0 for precision if precision/scale is unknown. Might happen unexpectedly and requires very close inspection of used SQL ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-16650?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiY2UzMm... ) 1.) Agree! 2.) Oh I see! That’s the reason why 😀 3.) Not sure about that, likely such a precision is often used for ID-columns. But I have no real world statistics/numbers… Fix is looking good. Great job! Excellent response time! 👍 ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-16650#add-comment?atlOrigin=ey... ) Add Comment ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-16650#add-comment?atlOrigin=ey... ) Get Jira notifications on your phone!
