Real Numbers

Data Type	Size	Precision	Min Value	Max Value	Syntax
FLOAT32	4 bytes	23 bits	-3.40282e+038	3.40282e+038	FLOAT(M, D) M represents the maximum length and D represents the number of decimal places displayed. The value range of M is (1=< M <=255). The value range of D is (1=< D <=30), and M >= D. Float numbers with precision show the number of bits with the required precision, and a trailing zero is added when the number of bits falls short.
FLOAT64	8 bytes	53 bits	-1.79769e+308	1.79769e+308	DOUBLE(M, D) M represents the maximum length and D represents the number of decimal places displayed. The value range of M is (1=< M <=255). The value range of D is (1=< D <=30), and M >= D. Float numbers with precision show the number of bits with the required precision, and a trailing zero is added when the number of bits falls short.

Decimal Types

Data Type	Size	Precision	Syntax
Decimal64	8 bytes	18 digits	Decimal(N,S) N is the total number of digits, the range is(1 ~ 18). The decimal point and (for negative numbers) the - sign are not counted in N. If N is omitted, the default value of N should be the largest; that is, the value is 18. S is the number of digits after the decimal point (the scale), the range is(0 ~ N) If S is 0, values have no decimal point or fractional part. If S is omitted, the default is 0, for example, Decimal(10) is equivalent to Decimal(10, 0). For example, Decimal(10,8) represents a number with a total length of 10 and a decimal place of 8.
Decimal128	16 bytes	38 digits	Decimal(N,S) N is the total number of digits, the range is(18 ~ 38). The decimal point and (for negative numbers) the - sign are not counted in N. If N is omitted, the default value of N should be the largest; that is, the value is 38. S is the number of digits after the decimal point (the scale), the range is(0 ~ N) If S is 0, values have no decimal point or fractional part. If S is omitted, the default is 0, for example, Decimal(20) is equivalent to Decimal(20, 0). For example, Decimal(20,9) represents a number with a total length of 20 and a decimal place of 9.

Examples

-- Create a table named "decimalTest" with 2 attribute of a "decimal" and b "decimal"
