[teiid-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (TEIID-1600) Exact numeric issues

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-1600?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin... ] Steven Hawkins resolved TEIID-1600. ----------------------------------- Resolution: Done Updated the parsing and AVG (with a minor optimization) logic to appropriately return exact numeric values. Also updated the release notes. Some backwards compatibility is offered by setting the system property org.teiid.parseDecimalAsDouble to true, but there is no switch to change the AVG behavior - as it is unlikely that anyone will want the previous behavior. If needed the org.teiid.parseDecimalAsDouble could be expanded to make AVG backwards compatible as well. The resolver is also now more flexible with literal values used as arguments to functions - e.g. dayName('2001-01-01') does not require an explicit convert. This also ensures that literals parsed as bigdecimal will automatically be converted to double if required by the surrounding function. However there may be many situations where view definitions will need to be updated since we require the types to match. The only way for this not to cause issues is to allow the view resolution logic to introduce conversions and treat bigdecimal to double as implicit (currently it is not as it can be a narrowing/lossy conversion). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
