Nice try :), but as I read the javadoc for DialectFactory it seems to suggest that hibernate gets the major number from our JDBC driver, which dutifully reports it as 8. I doubt that we're suggesting hacking the JDBC driver to lie just to get around this wrinkle when the obvious solution is to submit a patch to hibernate that makes it pass both major and minor numbers through, and the Oracle code could happily ignore the latter.
