Re: Bad value for type BigDecimal : Y

Hi Mikko/Richard,

Thanks for your reply. I do have a column whose length is 1. The definition
goes something like this
@Column(updatable=true, name="st_spom_status", nullable=false, length=1)
private String status;

Do you think this is what may be the cause of the problem??

Thanks
Ashish
