Hibernate: Found: float, expected: double precision

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.

Need more info. The table is Double? I'm not familiar with Oracle, but is that a floating point type? What java.sql.Types type does it translate to? You can see the java.sql.Types to database type mapping in the dialect class for your database. In this case it is org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle10gDialect (which extends 9i and 8i). Looks like you have

registerColumnType( Types.DOUBLE, "double precision" );

So, the table needs to be defined as double precision, and the java class needs to be defined as something that will map to Types.Double, usually double.

From the error message, it looks like your table is defined as float which would use this mapping

registerColumnType( Types.FLOAT, "float" );

for which the expected java type would be something that maps to Types.FLOAT, usually float; a single precision value.

The easiest thing to do is either change your table or java class to match. Alternately, you can specify a user type that would map a single precision value to a double precision value; I can't think of why you would really want to do that, but maybe if you didn't have control over both the class and the table, which is quite rare, I would think.

hth.

If you are using Annotation method, you need to declare column type as below for the field.

@Column(name = "PERFORMANCE", columnDefinition = "FLOAT(5,2)")
private double performance;

We had the same issue. We solved it by making sure to explicity set the column type in the mapping, like this:

<property name="performance" type="double">
  <column name="PERFORMANCE" sql-type="float" />
</property>
