I need to declare a field call “version”, but am not sure what data type to use.
My “version” is something like “11.04”. I am considering “double” as a good candidate.

double is probably a bad idea, unless you are planning on using a Knuth-style version converging on an irrational number. What’s wrong with an array of int, or a character string?
