dbGetNumericalPrecPolicy

Purpose

Returns the default numerical precision policy for a specified database connection.

Format

prec_policy = dbGetNumericalPrecPolicy(db_id)

Parameters:

db_id (scalar) – database connection index number.

Returns:

prec_policy (scalar) –

DB_HIGH_PRECISION	strings will be used to preserve precision
DB_LOW_PRECISION_INT32	Force 32-bit integer values
DB_LOW_PRECISION_INT64	Force 64-bit integer values
DB_LOW_PRECISION_DOUBLE	Force double values. This is the default policy.

Examples

// Add MySQL to the list of database connections
db_id = dbAddDatabase("MYSQL");
dbSetDatabaseName(db_id, "mydb");
dbOpen(db_id);

// Retrieve the current precision policy
prec_policy = dbGetNumericalPrecPolicy(db_id);
print (prec_policy);
