Answer 1

Unless you define a column type as double precision in DDL file, Oracle will convert it to float column type. So you need to register double as float column type in dialect class.

public class Oracle10gDialectExtended extends Oracle10gDialect {

    public Oracle10gDialectExtended() {
        super();
        registerColumnType(Types.DOUBLE, "float");
    }
}

Finally register Oracle10gDialectExtended in Hibernate/JPA configuration as hibernate.dialect.
