Nice fix. Been needing this for a while.

>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 4.0.2, 4.1.RC2, 4.2.M1
>            Reporter: Andrus Adamchik

> Given a column mapping of "DECIMAL(N, M)" to Java BigDecimal, the following code causes an update where it shouldn't (as there are no changes) :
> {noformat}
> // assuming the column is "DECIMAL(12, 6)"
> BigDecimal bd = new BigDecimal("7890.1");
> // save object
> o.setValue(bd);
> o.getObjectContext().commitChanges();
> // refetch object - the result will be padded to DB scale - "7890.100000"
> BigDecimalEntity o2 = ObjectSelect.query(BigDecimalEntity.class).selectFirst(runtime.newContext());
> // set to the same value and commit
> o2.setValue(bd);
> // *** PROBLEM HERE - "UPDATE" SQL is generated, while logically it should have been a noop
> o2.getObjectContext().commitChanges();
> {noformat}
> [I have a PR|https://github.com/apache/cayenne/pull/426] with a fix based on using "compareTo" instead of "equals" for BigDecimals, but it will require some discussion...
