---------------------------------
[~kenn] ping
Can you please take a look?
> SQL should probably not support GROUP BY or set operations on floating point

> These are known to be super unreliable on most SQL engines, and generally
> indicate a programming error. Floating points numbers are intended as
> stand-ins for real numbers, for which equality (hence grouping and set
> operations) are undecidable. And our build is broken because of it.
