> Utter nonsense. round(98926650.5, 1) -> 98926650.5000001 is a BUG. I agree with you that there is a bug here somewhere. But it is not in the round function, regardless of the merits of its implementation... C:\pvm3>sqlite3 SQLite version 3.4.2 Enter ".help" for instructions sqlite> select 98926650.5 * 1.0; 98926650.5000001 I suspect the bug is in the functions that convert between string and double; that's why I keep harping on Steele and White's (and Clinger's) PLDI 1990 papers. What I don't know is why this bug appears in the binary from sqlite.org but not in the version I build myself with gcc 3.4.5 from SQLite version 3.4.2 source. e -- Doug Currie Londonderry, NH, USA ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
