So, it's actualy INTEGER rather than NUMBER in Oracle? What happens if you change the metadata to Decimal(38,10)?

I am thinking do we need any patch for this warning?

You'd have to ask your support provider about a patch. How about answering my first question?

It's all Oracle bin Larry's fault for not having a proper Integer data type.

You can not prevent this message without adjusting your metadata precisely to match that of Oracle, and even then you will get a message logged (a slightly different one).

This is one of those alert messages that it is safe to ignore, and therefore I tend to demote it to informational using a message handler. (I never suppress messages from the log.)
