---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Key: HBI-12
    Summary: Length and precision of Numeric
       Type: Bug

     Status: Unassigned
   Priority: Major

    Project: Hibernate 1.2

Environment: Hibernate 2.1 beta 3 (7.9.2003)

Description:

The default mapping of java.util.BigDecimal is the Decimal hibernate type, which is translate in most dialect in "NUMBER(19, $l)". This don't allow us to specify the length of the number, only is precision. 

The main problem come from the default value of the length use is the Column.DEFAULT_PROPERTY_LENGTH=255. This make an invalid type because the precision can't be greater than the length (NUMERIC(19, 255)).

It would be great to have a different default value for the length (something like 2), and also to be able to specify the precision in the mapping file (may be by something like <property name="price" length="19,4" />).
