Thread: Behavior change in PG8.3?
I see one behavior change is PG8.3 and PG 8.2 .I was getting error=A0 of un= derflow value in PG8.2=A0 when i tried to insert '1E-307' in double precision column .And my application was expecting the same error condition with the same values=A0 against PG 8.3.3 as well.but now this vaule is inserted successfu= lly.I was thinking is this expected ,or was broken in PG 8.2 ? Thanks, Zahid K. =20=20=20=20=20=20=

It's not particularly surprising; we now allow denormalized numbers if the platform supports them. regards, tom lane
