Description:
When a certain number (p, s) with a fractional part (specific examples -
1.11 and 69.96) is multiplied by a power (10, N), the resulting value is
distorted.
However, if the power(10, N) is manually converted to an integer, the
resulting value is correct.
It looks like there is some kind of problem with the automatic type
conversion of the power() function.
Test query:
with w_degree as (
select 0::integer as degree union all
select 1::integer as degree union all
select 2::integer as degree union all
select 3::integer as degree union all
select 4::integer as degree union all
select 5::integer as degree union all
select 6::integer as degree union all
select 7::integer as degree union all
select 8::integer as degree union all
select 9::integer as degree
)
select
power(10, w.degree::integer) as
"power()"
, 1.11::numeric(20, 5) * power(10, w.degree::integer) as " 1.11 *
power()"
, 1.11::numeric(20, 5) * power(10, w.degree::integer)::integer as " 1.11 *
power()::integer"
, 69.96::numeric(20, 5) * power(10, w.degree::integer) as "69.96 *
power()"
, 69.96::numeric(20, 5) * power(10, w.degree::integer)::integer as "69.96 *
power()::integer"
from w_degree w;
Result:
power() | 1.11 * power() | 1.11 * power()::integer | 69.96 *
power() | 69.96 * power()::integer
