Bruce, the attached source reproduces this on 7.2, I don't have a
later version at hand to test if it's been fixed:
createdb floattest
echo "CREATE TABLE tab1(col1 FLOAT);" | psql floattest
ecpg insert-float.pgc
gcc insert-float.c -lecpg -lpq
./a.out floattest
results in:
col1: -0.000006
*!*!* Error -400: 'ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "a"' in line 21.
and in epcgdebug:
[29189]: ECPGexecute line 21: QUERY: insert into tab1 ( col1 ) values (
-6.0000002122251e-06A ) on connection floattest
[29189]: ECPGexecute line 21: Error: ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "a"
[29189]: raising sqlcode -400 in line 21, ''ERROR: parser: parse error at or near
"a"' in line 21.'.
