BigDecimal Problem

[František Kolář]

Hi Luca,

We are trying to use your DB in one of our bigger internet projects
and we came to accross to one major issue for us that is we are not
sure how to represent MONEY object.
Normaly you represent this as BigDecimal in your application and in
relation DB it is numeric type so you do not lose the information
about the precision .
Would help us on this or do you plan to support Numeric types on your
DB ?

Thank you for any ideas, help,

Best Regards,
Frantisek

Hi,

are you talking about something like the RDBMS where you can tell the decimals?

Now it's not supported but seems a MUST to have. In Java we have BigDecimal to it's just matter to find a way to serialize it. Could you open a new issue for it?

We are just using temporary double so we have 

Money  object {

        amount  double

  currency Currency

}

And we have Money formatter and we rely on the fact that we work only Amont that have two digits after decimal point.  - the scale is only 2 so we might be fine for a while.. 

Ok I will open the ticket.. 

Thank you, 

Frantisek
