Hello All, Can i use datatype DECIMAL(20) with BDE 5.01? In fact, i had success using this datatype in MS SQL Server, but i'm having problems with BDE, 'cause the column comes truncate. -- Regards Anderson Haertel Rodrigues Back to top Anderson Haertel Rodrigue Guest Posted: Wed Aug 27, 2003 4:20 pm    Post subject: Re: DECIMAL(20) x BDE 5.01?

Quote: Anderson, What variable type would you use on the Delphi side to give that much resolution? Max Int64 is only about 9.2^18. Ok. Quote: If you really need it, can you handle it via strings, or can you break it down with SQL into two fields of say DECIMAL(10) with div and mod functions? My solution create datatype Varchar(20). Today, using Decimal(16) "Primary Key", but, need add more 04 digits. Thanks John!

Does it represent anything more than a key? I.E. do you do any arithmetic on it? Can you split it into two PK fields. Which Delphi and which database are you using? Can you use the TBCD type? (I don't know if BDE knows about TBCD.) Regards, JohnH Back to top Anderson Haertel Rodrigue Guest Posted: Thu Aug 28, 2003 8:08 pm    Post subject: Re: DECIMAL(20) x BDE 5.01?

Ok...but, impact in Application Delphi more BIG! (Forms, Reports, SELECTs) Quote: Which Delphi and which database are you using? Delphi 4.0, BDE 5.01 and MS SQL Server 7.0 Regards.
