Correct column types in Oracle and PostgreSQL for Java(Hibernate) Float type












0















I need create column for storage Float value in Oracle and PostgreSQL.



@Column(name = "SOME_VALUE")
private Float someValue;


How do I create columns in both bases so that Hibernate is mapping normally?



I tried the FLOAT type in Oracle (and it work) and BIGINT in PostgresSQL.



But I am confused by my choice. I want the most correct types for both databases.

          For Oracle:



          use NUMBER for arbitrary precision (if you can't afford rounding errors, for example with money) or BINARY_DOUBLE for faster processing, if rounding errors don't matter so much, like a temperature measurement.



          For PostgreSQL:



          The corresponding data types in PostgreSQL would be numeric and double precision.



          FLOAT in Oracle is the same as NUMBER with a precision limit in binary digits, and bigint in PostgresSQL is for large integer numbers.

          • I use REAL for bouth bases. When I run script in oracle was created float(63) and in postgres - real. Is it wrong or has the right to exist?

          • Those are also ok. As I wrote, FLOAT is the same as NUMBER in Oracle, and real is like double precision, except with fewer significant digits.
