I know; I lose a couple of digits by using float8 instead of numeric, but it's much simpler and faster, and if it returned numeric people would _think_ it was exact. And if we have a cast to numeric, people who want those extra digits can cast to numeric before dividing. But I do still have the numeric code that I tried, so if that's how people want to do it, I can provide it. -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
