Re: How does Informix handle 64 bit data ??

G'day there, I couldn't help noticing that you refer to native data types as opposed to decimals! Scuze the ignorance but what is the difference in calculation speed (ball park obviously) and which are the native types. The reason I ask is that on the DB I am working on I originally kept to Integer, Varchar(N) and float (double precision). I was shot down in flames over storage space of the floats and most of these fields were altered to numeric(8,2) (which we now may have to change to (13,2), so much for storage :-p ) What IYHO would be best R. -- ____ / / rusty@aqumen.co.za | To err is human, / / ___ ___ ___ | but if you really /___/ / / / / / / / | want to mess up, / \\ / / /__ /__ /__ / / | you need a computer! / \\ / / / / / / / | / \\ /___/ ___/ ___/ /___ /___ /___ |
