    Vb6 problem with odbc for postgresql and columns calculated in query

    Good afternoon
    I have problems when in a select to postgresql there are calculated columns.
    In this example if I execute the select directly in the pgAdmin there are no errors, but since vb6 using ado column 4 is incorrect.

    If I insert a round (.. in the select it is corrected but the problem is that there is a lot of pre-existing code that I cannot touch.

    If someone can give me a light I would appreciate it very much

    The text is translated, sorry for the grammar.

    Greetings from Costa Rica

    DATA

    CREATE TABLE public.testdec
    (
    ccosto numeric(18,4),
    cdescuento01 numeric(9,2),
    cdescuento02 numeric(9,2)
    )
    TABLESPACE pg_default;


    insert into testdec values(18.87,0,0)


    select ccosto,cdescuento01,cdescuento02,
    (ccosto * (1-cdescuento01/100) * (1-cdescuento02/100)) as ccostoneto
    from testdec

    In vb return:
    18.87 OK
    0 OK
    0 OK
    0.00000204170829370340983232 Error, = 0

    Have you tried:
    Code:
    select ...(ccosto * (1.0-cdescuento01/100.0) * (1.0-cdescuento02/100.0))...

    Or perhaps (alternatively) try it with proper casting of the result-field
    since Numeric(18,4) is apparently transported correctly over ODBC...

    ..., Cast( ccosto * (1 - cdescuento01 / 100) * (1 - cdescuento02 / 100) As Numeric(18,4) ) As ccostoneto

    Thank you very much Olaf.

    The problem is that I needed a solution without touching the querys.

    I already made it, I share it in case it helps someone

    In the odbc configuration, in datasource, page 2, numeric without precision change default to double

    I also found that I can set it from the connection string adding to it: "; D6 = 8"

    Thank you very much and greetings from Costa Rica

    Thank you very much, there was the information only that the language blocked me a little

    Yep, as it stands there (D6=8) - it looks quite funny...

    Cannot test it - but according to this docu-page here:
    https://odbc.postgresql.org/docs/config-opt.html

    ...instead of the abbreviations, it should probably work as well with the "full Keywords":
    NumericAS=SQL_DOUBLE
