using zxJDBC for Queries with NUMBER datatype in Oracle

When I run Oracle queries using zxJDBC, the results for the Oracle datatype ‘NUMBER’ always have a decimal place added (e.g. 12345.0 instead of just 12345).  If I run the query using SQLPlus for example, the results returned are integers as expected.

Here is the query in Jython:

>> from com.ziclix.python.sql import zxJDBC

>> db = zxJDBC.connect('jdbc:oracle:thin:@host:port:db','system','xxxx','oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver')

>> a = db.cursor()

>> a.execute('select part_uid,product_id from mytable.dp_history')

>> a.fetchone()

(4209580.0, u'ARCH')

The same result in SQL*Plus returns:

4209580, ARCH

Is there a way to configure the data types in zxJDBC?

My classpath:  /home/jython/ojdbc6.jar

My Java version:

$ java -version

java version "1.6.0_03"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_03-b05)

Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.6.0_03-b05, mixed mode)

This issue can be replicated in any version of Jython.

Thanks,

Steve
