Hi,
I'm evaluating sqlserver compact and I have detected an ugly
restriction.
Apparently, its not possible to create a table containing 'double
precision' values, like
Create Table myTab (myDbl DOUBLE PRECISION);
The result is:
SQL Execution Error.
Executed SQL statement: Create Table myTab (myDbl DOUBLE PRECISION);
Error Source: SQL Server Compact
ADO.NET Data Provider
Error Message: There was an error parsing the query. [ Token line
numer = 1, Token line offset = 27, Tiken in error = DOUBLE ]
While spending some time with the problem, I have found MS
documentations that claims double precision is a valid data type for
sqlserver compact. This is also what I expect from a database system.
I got the sqlserver compact 3.5 by installing VS 2008. I also ran an
update to the latest runtime version, but this seems to have changed
nothing.
