Enhancement in precision of calculations with NUMERIC/DECIMAL -------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CORE-4409 URL: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-4409 Project: Firebird Core Issue Type: Improvement Components: Engine Affects Versions: 3.0 Alpha 2, 3.0 Alpha 1, 2.5.2 Update 1, 2.1.5 Update 1, 2.5.2, 2.1.5 Environment: Dialetic 3 databases Reporter: Carlos H. Cantu The way Firebird deals with the precision of the results of calculations involving multiple arguments can easily cause overflows, specially in maths/divs, when the precision of the result is the sum of the precision of the arguments, what can easily extrapolate the actual limits of the currently numeric/decimal datatypes. Also, some care is needed in the intermediate calculations, to avoid loss of precision and overflows. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Accelerate Dev Cycles with Automated Cross-Browser Testing - For FREE Instantly run your Selenium tests across 300+ browser/OS combos.
