Among TSQL types (MSSQL): real, float and decimal; which type would result in faster comparisons?
Would decimal use hardaware FPU computation or is it purely in software?
Decimals cannot use the FPU. You get best performance with float or real which map to a standard IEEE floating point number which is supported by the FPU.
float = double
real = single
Of course, single is faster.
