Subject: Undocumented FLOAT data type
Date: Wed, 11 Apr 2001 19:49:09 -0600
Message-ID: <3AD50995.74838FC5@middle.net> (raw)

I just noticed the SQL-92 FLOAT datatype is implemented in the grammar but is
not documented in the manual.

By the way, what was the ANSI/ISO SQL committee thinking when they made up
perverse names like "CHARACTER VARYING"?  (Not to mention all the functions
that require special grammar rules just to parse...)
