! ! But this is my problem, but I don't want a DOUBLE OBJECT,
! !
! ! I want a DOUBLE VALUE / TYPE. I have tried the below method but then I have
! ! the problem of converting the Double d object to the value which the database
! ! will take without throwing an exception because it wants a double whilst I am
! ! giving it a Double And it is this that is causing me the grieve.
! !
! ! I tried the Double.parseDouble, but I just get : not found in
! ! java.lang.Double
