this time its h2 : foncusion of DECIMAL and NUMERIC column types ----------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-3377 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3377 Project: Hibernate3 Issue Type: Bug Components: core Affects Versions: 3.2.6 Environment: H2 1.0.72, Hibernate 3.2.6 Reporter: Jan Baumann Analogous to HHH-2582 when trying to persist a BigDecimal object, hibernate throws a org.hibernate.HibernateException stating "Wrong column type in [...]. Found: decimal, expected: numeric" I checked the H2Dialect.java file, and as had been described for the MySQLDialect.java the following line was present : registerColumnType(Types.NUMERIC, "numeric"); Since H2 doesn't have a numeric type I tried the solution found for HHH-2582 and changed the line mentioned above to registerColumnType( Types.NUMERIC, "decimal($p,$s)" ); This seems to do the trick. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
