No, but that too is now delivering less precision than it used to: regression=# select 10.1/7.0; ?column? -------------- 1.4428571429 (1 row) versus 1.44285714285714 in prior releases. > Proposal #2.667 would be to have a GUC variable for the default > precision. Perhaps, but I'd be satisfied if the default precision were at least 16 digits. Again, the point is not to have any apparent regression from 7.2. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/faq.html
