There's a connection option " Leave scale 0 floats untouched ?" to switch this off. The truncation to integers is done because some database drivers always return numbers as floats - even integers.

See above: just switch on the option in the connection properties. - Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Feb 03 2008) >>> Python/Zope Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ :::: Try mxODBC.Zope.DA for Windows,Linux,Solaris,MacOSX for free ! :::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
