Can you inspect the DB type to derive a precision for the STRING format? Then maybe default to 8 if you can't derive it?

We probably could, but looking at db/db_val.h +75, you can see that the generic db_val_t type has no support for storing the precision.  So we'd have to:

* extend this struct so it includes "precision digits" for floating point types.  Hopefully with 0 side-effects!
* add some handy get/set macros for the above
* for the MySQL driver: inspect the column properties (it has to be possible) and extract/store the decimal digits into the result
* for other SQL drivers: feature not implemented for now?!
* in avpops, make use of the db_val_t precision digits and finally use them to properly format the output data

So this seems like too much of a hassle for a minor (if any) improvement, at least in my opinion.  There are other tasks far more important to be done for 3.1 instead of this little quirk.

PS: Yesterday, I already pushed the 8-digits patch upstream anyway :)

Best regards,
