[Gvsig_english] gvSIG 1.9 and export to Oracle Spatial: field definition is changed - bug

Dear list,
a colleague of mine noticed that field definitions of a layer will 
change when that layer is exported to Oracle Spatial.
For example, if a column of the shapefile to be exported was of type 
"integer" it will be "real" after exporting (and re-importing to 
shape-format).
Also, field length is changed to a higher value. This has an additional 
negative effect: the dbf-file will become much bigger (size of the file)
Is this a bug?

Best,
Wolfgang

(ps: the attached screenshots show the differences: first table: 
original, second: oracle spatial layer; btw, strange that no type is 
marked for former integer fields!
I checked it again after importing back to shapefile - there, manage 
fields dialogue says: field ist integer (ogrinfo says: real))
