On this point, I have had problems with dbexport with 7.20 and AIX 4.2.
The problem is, and I'm going with a fast failing memory, that float types
with 0.0 (or is it null?) values get dbexported with "-le" in the field.
Once you figure out what the values should be (0.0 or null) you can
*carefully* sed the text output and correct the values. dbexport then works
as advertised.
