NUMERIC data type is hardcoded to use '.' as the decimal point. FLOATs are in fact hardcoded the same way (they use strtod() and sprintf() while pgsql's LC_NUMERIC is always "C"). The only data type that localizes decimal point is MONEY.
it makes many problems when the decimal point is not '.' (for example, ','). is it a bug or a feature? ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
