Well I've tested this myself on a set of values in the range of 1e32 to 1e-32 and found no problems. Cheers.

If I retrieve a float value from an Oracle database, say using selectall_arrayref, can I be sure that the value is retrieved without losing any precision ? If I then store this back onto the database (without altering it in any way) using a bound insert into .. values () statement can I be sure that the inserted value is an exact copy of the original ? Cheers, Mark. ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
