Please don't use double, use a fixed point format. Double's are for scientific use, this is accounting so exact numbers are required.
In MySQL, one could use the DECIMAL type.
Hi Alex,
there is currently no write functionality in the DB API and also scheme generation XSL to support the DECIMAL type. If double is not correct for you, what about just storing the milliseconds as INT value e.g. 12,3s => 123 in the DB?
BTW, only db_mysql and db_unixodbc currently support DECIMAL value for read, db_mysql evaluates it to DB1_STRING, db_unixodbc to DB1_INT.
Best regards,
Henning
