[Firebird-devel] Strange casting varchar to double precision

[Slavomir S. <sko...@el...>]

Hi,
I was tried to cast number near to min double from string
to double precision by this command:

select cast('4.94065645841247E-324' as double precision) from rdb$database

tested on FB 2.0.3 and FB 2.0.1.

This number is MinDouble constant in Delphi 7.

This should be work in my opninion.
Any idea why not ?

I know how to go around.
