What are the best workarounds for known problems with Hibernate's schema validation of floating point columns when using Oracle 10g?

Question

I have several Java classes with double fields that I am persisting via Hibernate. For example, I have

@Entity
public class Node ...

  private double value         


        

Answer 1

just adding (columnDefinition = "NUMBER(9,2)") works!

@Column(name = "CREDIT_AMOUNT", columnDefinition = "NUMBER(9,2)")
@Basic
private double creditAmount;
