Just out of curiosity, what platforms are you having trouble with. I tried the script below on each of Linux (Ubuntu with gcc 5.4.0), Mac (LLVM 10.0.0), and Win10 (MSVC) and got the answer you expect in all three cases, namely 1.79769313486231522322e+308, 8.98846567431157611547e+307, Inf. SELECT quote(1.7976931348623153E+308); SELECT quote(1.7976931348623153E+308/2.0); SELECT quote(1.7976931348623153E+308*2.0); -- D.
