Обсуждение: TODO question

This TODO-item "SELECT col FROM tab WHERE numeric_col = 10.1 fails, requires
quotes" - is it already fixed? I executed smth. like

select * from tab2 where dpcol = 10.1;

and it returns a record containing this value in the double precision column
"dpcol".

oops, I should clean my eyeballs: my test case was:

create table t3 (n double precision);
select * from t3 where n = 10.1;
n
---
(0 rows)

the problem lies in the numeric field - let's see, if I find out where to
fix it
