[mdb-dev] Bug in copying MDB_NUMERIC fields

[Jakob E. <jab...@gm...>]

There is a serious bug in libmdb, where the first two digits after the comma are deleted in numeric fields.

The problem is in the file "src/libmdb/data.c" in function "mdb_num_to_string" around line 718:

The line is supposed to be:
memmove(text+prec-scale+1, text+prec-scale, scale+1); //RIGHT

And not:
memmove(text+prec-scale, text+prec-scale+1, scale+1); //WRONG

WORKAROUND: use DOUBLE rather than NUMERIC fields
