Craig L Russell commented on JDO-643:
-------------------------------------
I'd like to see this changed as well. Can someone write up what the return type
should be for all of the numeric types that JDO supports?
I don't think it's obvious that double is the right type for average of
BigInteger or BigDecimal. And what about float?
> avg return type

> Key: JDO-643
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-643
> Project: JDO
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: specification
> Affects Versions: JDO 2 maintenance release 2
> Reporter: Guido Anzuoni
> Assignee: Michael Bouschen
> Fix For: JDO 3 maintenance release 1
>
>
> Aggregate type specification at page 175 claims that avg(expression) return
> type is the same of the enclosed expression.
> This is wrong from a strictly mathematical point of view.
> In fact, if you select an avg on an int field member the result is truncated.
> The result type should always be double.
