Hi, I am new to OpenJPA, but not new to the concept of persistence layers. (I have used Hibernate and TopLink in the past, but only for small proof-of-concept applications.)
I have recently started an OpenJPA proof-of-concept application, with the goal of gaining experience with OpenJPA and the DataCache and QueryCache features of OpenJPA in particular. So far, I am very impressed with OpenJPA, and I think it is a high-quality, feature-rich, open source product. Anyway, here are my two questions: 1.) Under the heading "Known issues with PostgreSQL", it says: "Floats and doubles may lose precision when stored." (http://openjpa.apache.org/builds/latest/docs/manual/dbsupport_postgresql.html#dbsupport_postgresql_issues) This sounds a bit scary, and it worries me. Question: Is this still a problem with OpenJPA 1.2.1? If yes, in what version of OpenJPA will this be resolved? 2.) The same issue is listed under "Known issues with SQL Server": "Floats and doubles may lose precision when stored." (http://openjpa.apache.org/builds/latest/docs/manual/dbsupport_sqlserver.html#dbsupport_sqlserver_issues) Again, is this still a problem with OpenJPA 1.2.1? If yes, in what version of OpenJPA will this be resolved? My sincere thanks go to the OpenJPA team, for building this open source product! At the moment, I am using the following software stack for my proof-of-concept application: Persistence: OpenJPA version 1.2.1 Database: Postgresql 8.3 OS: Ubuntu 9.04 Java: JDK 1.6 IDE: Netbeans 6.8 App Server: OpenEJB 3.1.2 Regards Riaan South Africa -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Known-issues-Floats-and-doubles-may-lose-precision-when-stored-tp4265454p4265454.html Sent from the OpenJPA Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
