hello,

Thanks for the response.  I am not using Oracle, but it seems that we are
having very similar problems.  It seems that when NHibernate returns the
values it automatically tries to use a Decimal type instead of a Float
type.  Is there a way to force NHibernate to use a float on a field in a
table?  I have tried to set Type="float" in the mapping file, but that
didn't help.

Thanks,

Eli
