java math reminder,java.math.BigInteger无法强制转换为java.math.BigDecimal

We are migrating from Oracle to PostgreSQL. Some queries that were specific to Oracle had to be changed to Postgres equivalents. Following is one such commit:

Initially,

Query query = getEntityManager().createNativeQuery("SELECT PC_SITE_GROUP_ID_SEQ.NEXTVAL from DUAL");

BigDecimal result = (BigDecimal) query.getSingleResult();

was changed to,

Query query = getEntityManager().createNativeQuery("SELECT NEXTVAL('pc_site_group_id_seq')");

BigDecimal result = (BigDecimal) query.getSingleResult();

On running, after the change, it threw error,

java.math.BigInteger cannot be cast to java.math.BigDecimal

My question is why it was working before?

Just a reminder, the first change was run on Oracle database while the second one on Postgres database. Please help.
