Wider than float8

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

 



Hi all.
On most modern CPUs there are numeric representations wider than 8-bytes
(aka float8 in PGSQL).

For example, Intel/AMD CPUs have native 12-bytes floating point numbers (aka
long double in C/C++).

I understand that it could not be non-standard from a clean SQL point of view.
Nonetheless, is there any way to use those "long doubles" in SQL?

Many thanks.
