This is not a Postgres question per se.

The method is documented as:-

public static BigDecimal valueOf(long val)

I do not know hibernate, so Ihaven't the sligstest idea of why
get("EB") returns BigInteger or why you do not cast it to BigInteger
instead of BigDecimal.

But if your problem is it sometimes has Bigdecimal and sometimes
BigInteger you could try casting it to the parent, Number, which is
the one specifying longValue() and would make the code work with both.

His problem seems to be the opposit, he does not have the long value
and wants it.

You are BOTTOM QUOTING a message which has nothing to thank me from, I
was just trying to clarify a misunderstanding of your original
question.

Had you quoted the correct message you would have seen I told you I do
not know hibernate, so no idea whar a session, entityManaer or or
delegates are. I also haven't done anthing serious with Oracle in this
century. So, I cannot tell you much.

Which I do know is in classic postgres you normally call functions
this way, by selecting.
