Query precision issue

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



All,

I have simple query like 'select * from table1 where column1=-107.6898780000'. This returns an empty set. But there is data corresponding to this value of column.

When I looked more into it, it seems like a precision issue. The value for column1 is -107.689878.

More interesting is that the following query fetches the row,

'select * from table1 where column1=-107.689878000'

Note that there are only three trailing zeros in the second query while there were four in the first.

Can somebody help me to find out the problem? I can very well truncate the trailing zeros when querying, but I am interested in finding why an additional trailing zero returns an empty set.
