I think that the different treatment of date format (when converting to text) and datetime storage (double v/s int64) wasn't the primary motivation. The main reason was that dialect 3 imposes exact numerics rules for multiplication and division and we don't have enough bits to account for all cases (we would need internally int128 or somewhat alike). Also, division becomes C-like for integer numbers. C. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
