  • 0

In my debugger (VS2010), I can verify that I am sending the correct values to my SqlCeServer 3.5 database using an SqlCeCommand.

Looking at the data afterwards, I noticed that some of my float values are skewed.

  • When I enter 0.006, the database will store 0.0060000000521540642

  • When I enter 0.012, the database will store 0.0120000001043081

  • When I enter 0.011, the database will store 0.0109999999403954

Other float values (1.125, 0.875, 0.75) store just fine.

Is there something special I have to do to ensure my float values store correctly?

    Don’t use float: it’s approximate

    Use fixed precision: decimal/numeric
