It appears to still use floats for 'float' columns, does oracle not

Not really. Oracle uses "NUMBER" for all numeric columns. There's also a
"FLOAT" type, but it's not typically used (and it's effectively the same
as NUMBER).
In my patch to make this work for Oracle I'll make NUMBER (w/ no
precision or scale) translate to :float.
This seems a good example of a situation where Rails needs its own
(optional) mapping metadata. One application may specify storage of a
NUMBER with high precision, wanting to do floating-point calculations
with it, whereas another application might need to treat
similarly-specified NUMBERs as BigDecimal.
