Control of BigDecimal precision and scale ----------------------------------------- Key: TEIID-7 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/TEIID-7 Project: Teiid Issue Type: Bug Components: Query Engine Affects Versions: 8.x Reporter: Jerry Helbling Priority: Minor Fix For: 7.1 Problem 1: The parser defaults to parsing literals that look like bigdecimal as doubles, which have no scale. Workaround (which is on devcentral): You can avoid the above conversions by wrapping the values in a convert in the query (example: "convert('123.00', BigDecimal )"). A better fix is update the parser to look for loss of scale information and to use the bigdecimal type instead. Problem 2: default division behavior JBEDSP-305 Problem 3: No explicit control via the parser It would be good to provide explicit precision and scale via "convert(xxx, BigDecimal(10, 2))" - side note bigdecimal is a bad name for this type. it should really just be decimal Reference: This is related to Issue Tracker Issue 175485.
