Fix Version/s: 7.0
(was: 8.0)
Affects: [Documentation (Ref Guide, User Guide, etc.),
Compatibility/Configuration, Release Notes] (was: [Compatibility/Configuration, Release
Notes])
Moving into the 7.0 release, since this should not wait for 8 and should not be part of a
dot release. Will update both the divide behavior and the conversion from floating types
to bigdecimal.

Key: TEIID-159
URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-159
Project: Teiid
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: Server
Affects Versions: 6.0.0
Reporter: Jerry Helbling
Fix For: 7.0
Using MathContext.DECIMAL128 should give a more usable scale and precision to the
results.
Current behavior
254403453878 / 21870000000 returns 12
and
254403453878.0001 / 21870000000 returns 11.6325
Improved behavior:
254403453878 / 21870000000 returns 11.632531
and
254403453878.0001 / 21870000000 returns 11.632531
We should also investigate what the impact of this change will be on users who may be
relying on our current behavior.
