| |
| <p> |
| A double precision floating-point data type used in <codeph>CREATE TABLE</codeph> and <codeph>ALTER |
| TABLE</codeph> statements. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p conref="../shared/impala_common.xml#common/syntax_blurb"/> |
| |
| <p> |
| In the column definition of a <codeph>CREATE TABLE</codeph> statement: |
| </p> |
| |
| <codeblock><varname>column_name</varname> DOUBLE</codeblock> |
| |
| <p> |
| <b>Range:</b> 4.94065645841246544e-324d .. 1.79769313486231570e+308, positive or negative |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| <b>Precision:</b> 15 to 17 significant digits, depending on usage. The number of significant digits does |
| not depend on the position of the decimal point. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| <b>Representation:</b> The values are stored in 8 bytes, using |
| <xref href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-precision_floating-point_format" scope="external" format="html">IEEE 754 Double Precision Binary Floating Point</xref> format. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| <b>Conversions:</b> Impala does not automatically convert <codeph>DOUBLE</codeph> to any other type. You can |
| use <codeph>CAST()</codeph> to convert <codeph>DOUBLE</codeph> values to <codeph>FLOAT</codeph>, |
| <codeph>TINYINT</codeph>, <codeph>SMALLINT</codeph>, <codeph>INT</codeph>, <codeph>BIGINT</codeph>, |
| <codeph>STRING</codeph>, <codeph>TIMESTAMP</codeph>, or <codeph>BOOLEAN</codeph>. You can use exponential |
| notation in <codeph>DOUBLE</codeph> literals or when casting from <codeph>STRING</codeph>, for example |
| <codeph>1.0e6</codeph> to represent one million. |
