Full DECIMAL support in ColumnStore

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      MariaDB ColumnStore supports DECIMAL with some limitations:

      1. We do not support the full DECIMAL range that is in MariaDB

      2. In several places in the code we convert the DECIMAL to DOUBLE during execution therefore losing precision

      Implementing this will likely require the following:

      • Implementation of methods to handle MariaDB's DECIMAL format
      • Support for a longer than 8-byte numeric column type (there is an InfiniDB tree with work for this already)
      • Modification of the primitives processor for the math
      • Modification of the function expression processor to handle the new type
      • Version upgrade support for DECIMAL from the current form to the new form
