Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Is Oracle's conversion to/from IEEE lossless?
I understand that Oracle doesn't store numbers in IEEE 754-1985
format. But Can Oracle represent every IEEE 754-1985 double- and
single- precision number? For example, if I have a Java "double", can
I store it in Oracle and then retrieve it and get the same exact
value? What limitations are there to do thing this?
I searched on groups.google.com for an answer to this but I couldn't find a definitive one.
Thanks,
Brian
