No, that is not how floating point works. The storage is different from integers or bigint, as it is, the text makes no sense at all. Mark - Bericht beantwoorden - Van: "Helen Borrie" Aan: "Chatter regarding Firebird documentation"

[Firebird-docs] How to translate COLLATION into German?

2016-08-10 Thread Köditz , Martin
Hi, just a question for German-speaking people. How would you translate COLLATION or COLLATE? Do we translate this or leave it as it is? Currently I use the German term "Sortierreihenfolge" but I don't know if this is OK and understandable. So what is your opinion on this? Regards, Martin
