Re: BUG #6534: Passing numeric Bind variables to ODBC driver convers to "Double precision"

>> Is there an ODBC setting for incoming numeric bind variables?
I don't think there is any such kind of setting, atleast I am not aware.

I am guessing mostly it’s the Postgres behavior or some problem in the way
the application is using ODBC.

Can you provide this with an example like how you have defined your function
and how it is getting called from ODBC.

Yes, this is happening when variables are passed to a function
The call below does work:
Nvar
Select * from mytable where id=?nvar

Select function call below will work if they function is defined as "Double
precision"
(that and the error I am getting from Postgres says it is be passed "Double
precision")

We will get the "unknown function "Double precision" parameter" error when
We are calling a function with numeric or integer parameters.

Is there an ODBC setting for incoming numeric bind variables?

Does it happen only for function call or otherwise for Insert statement
also?
What is your function declaration.
How have you verified that in postgres it is double precision.

No matter what numeric type I try to pass,(integer, numeric, currency) the
ODBC driver is turning it into "Double Precision"
Only If I send the value as a string
Declare nvar as numeric(10,2)
Nvar=1, nvar=1.0000 or nvar=1.00 will come across as "Double Precision"
input bind variable.
Sending
Nvar="1" will work but there are issues with converting numbers to
character,

Any Ideas?

In ODBC while binding variable using SQLBindParameter(..) API you might be
using SQL_DOUBLE or SQL_Numeric or some similar datatype to send the
variable, that's why in postgres it is showing as "Double precision"

Given the lack of any response here, I suggest reposting this to the
pgsql-odbc mailing list.
