Daniel John Debrunner commented on DERBY-3290:
----------------------------------------------

Another issue would be backwards compatibility. Current Derby does perform the 
role of ensuring only valid numeric values are allowed in DOUBLE/REAL columns 
which (thanks to Knut Anders) does follow the SQL Standard.

Changing these datatypes to allow such values would be a change in behaviour 
and a dangerous one for any application relying on the current behaviour.

> Derby cannot store java Double or Float values .NaN and 
> .[POSITIVE|NEGATIVE]_INFINITY
