can not assign precision, scale to a float

Reported by feydr | June 24th, 2008 @ 09:31 AM

I use a BigDecimal for a money related column as I am unable to use scale/precision with a float.

http://pastie.org/221115

When I try to change the schema I get a message of 'For float(M,D), double(M,D) or decimal(M,D), M must be >= D (column 'small').'

When I change the schema from within irb I get the error:

>> h.valid?

  1. => true

ruby: main

>> h.small = 2

  1. => 2

ruby: main

>> h.valid?

    feydr, I'm not sure why you're getting that warning. Which backend are you using?

    Also I added some debug code to dm-validates so if the precision/scale are set incorrectly it'll raise a warning:

    I also rearranged the code so it was a bit more clear what the different conditions were for. I will probably add some sort of checking in the property declaration too.

    Can you sync up dm-core and dm-more and pastie the errors (if any) that you get?

    feydr, I also added some checks into the property declarations so if the precision/float are wrong it should blow up as expected:

    Dan: I upgraded to latest git repo and everything seems to work now.

    Guess I should have tried that first.

    Thanks.

    • Milestone cleared.
    • Assigned user changed from “Sam Smoot” to “Dan Kubb (dkubb)”
    • State changed from “open” to “resolved”

    feydr, yeah there was a bug where I accidentally flipped around precision and scale, so Float and BigDecimal columns were being created with the wrong values. I fixed it about a week ago, but I think with the addition of these extra checks in dm-core and dm-validates anyone relying on the old buggy behavior will update their software.
