Please enter a FULL description of your problem:
------------------------------------------------
Evaluationg following SQL cause parse error.
It seems that there's a bug parsing negative floating value
that has more than 15 digits after the period.

> db1=> create table foo ( d float );
> CREATE
> db1=> insert into foo values ( -0.123456789012345 );

> INSERT 178114 1

This makes another problem because Java's Double.toString(double ) methods
returns the following expression, so JDBC's PreparedStatement.setDouble(int,double)
may fail.

>public class Test {
> static public void main(String args[]){
> double d = 1.0 / 7.0;
> System.out.println(d);
> }
