Oh, that's nice. Unfortunately, though. it only seems to support major
version number differentiation as an int. Apparently the idea that you
might have a version number like 8.3 didn't occur to whoever wrote it,
although to be fair it looks like the only implementation that
actually uses it is Oracle, where that assumption probably holds.
Probably wouldn't be that hard to hack to our purposes though...
800, 801 ...
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.
OK.
It's probably time to take this discussion off -hackers, I think.

TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to
choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
match
