----------------------------------------

Hmm, could you run the DumpMetadataTask like so:

<taskdef name="dumpMetadata"
           classname="org.apache.ddlutils.task.DumpMetadataTask ">
    <classpath refid="runtime-classpath"/>
 </taskdef>
  <dumpMetadata outputfile="metadata.xml">
    <database url="jdbc:derby:ddlutils"
              driverClassName="org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver"
              username=""
              password=""/>
  </dumpMetadata >

on an Oracle database that you created with the FLOAT datatype ? I'd like to 
see what Oracle makes of this, eg. whether it converts it to some other 
datatype or uses FLOAT directly.
If it is the latter, I could introduce a new Oracle 10 platform (until I can 
test an Oracle 8 installation) that uses ANSI types.

> Oracle FLOAT and DOUBLE type mappings have zero scale

> In Oracle8Platform, the types FLOAT and DOUBLE are mapped to NUMBER(38). 
> According to Oracle's docs, this type has zero scale. It looks like floating 
> point numbers should be specified either as just NUMBER or FLOAT(n). See:
