This first thing which springs to my mind is: what langauge are you using that can make use of such values? scheme and J to name a couple, handle values such as you describe internally... Java provides supports through java.math.BigDecimal, C and C++ get thier support through various specialty libraries.. If you are using, say, scheme: you may need to convert your numeric representation to binary data and storeit as such.. you are not going to get any useful indexing.. perhaps have each such field keep a companion field with the near-equivelent low-res FLOAT value which you can index on.. -- - michael dykman - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - All models are wrong.
