Error Retrieving values of FLOAT types columns

[akhtar-a]

response.getLong() , .getString , getBytes nothing works, I am not able to retrieve the value, It also Shows unknown in the debugger

@ostafen Any Idea how do we actually get FLOAT values ?

Thank you for opening the issue, I will check

@ostafen Any Updates on this ?

[ostafen]

@akhtar-a, we are working on it and it will be released shortly.
As a temporary solution, you can CAST FLOAT to VARCHAR when returning the column and then parse it from string directly in the code.

@ostafen Yes we have done that only for now, I wanted to increment and avoid multiple reads which is not possible as of now with VARCHAR type of values

UPDATE table
value = value + float(SOME FLOAT NUMNER)
where id=1
So would be great to have this. 🥇

You don't have to store the column as VARCHAR.
You cast store it as FLOAT and cast it to VARCHAR while specifying target expressions on the select statement.
