[teiid-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Created: (TEIID-1600) Exact numerical literal parsing

Exact numerical literal parsing ------------------------------- Key: TEIID-1600 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-1600 Project: Teiid Issue Type: Bug Components: Query Engine Reporter: Steven Hawkins Assignee: Steven Hawkins Fix For: 8.0 Teiid diverges from the SQL spec by parsing numerical expressions of the form <integral value>.<integral value> as doubles rather than as an exact numeric type (which for us would be BigDecimal). I believe this was originally done to match Java parsing semantics and potentially to avoid performance overhead of using BigBecimal. However this can lead to a loss of precision that is not expected by ANSI SQL. inexact numeric values entered in scientific notation would not be affected by this change. They would still be parsed as doubles. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
