Re: pgadmin error

Hi Dave

Tried some more queries to qualify the rounding problem accessing data in
pgadmin. Not quite what was expected. Hmmm...

Edit view brings back the values such as 8.53639e+06.

What has been stored in the table are numbers in increasing value.

<test_query>

SELECT col1, col2, date_observed,
rt_value v0, rt_value::TEXT v1, to_char(rt_value, '999999999') v2,
rt_value::NUMERIC v3, rt_value::NUMERIC::TEXT v4,
to_char(rt_value::NUMERIC, '999999999') v5,
rt_value::double precision v6, rt_value::double precision::TEXT v7,
to_char(rt_value::double precision, '999999999') v8
FROM tbla
WHERE (col1,col2) = ( (-1465867942,-3248196) )
AND date_observed >= '9-May-2012 23:57'
AND date_observed < '10-May-2012'
ORDER BY col1, col2, date_observed
;

</test_query>

<results>
