Thread: sum(decimal) not returning dp when query run via ODBC on Linux

query works fine via ODBC on Windows and via the SQL Gui on both Linux and Windows against the same instance of Postgres 8.4 (running on Windows).

any suggestions?

postgres on linux
"PostgreSQL 8.4.2 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC gcc (GCC) 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-10), 32-bit"
postgres on windows
"PostgreSQL 8.4.1, compiled by Visual C++ build 1400, 32-bit"


CREATE TABLE tdec
(
  rnum integer NOT NULL,
  cdec numeric(7,2)
)

-1.00
0.00
1.00
0.10
10.00

using isql or an application using the ODBC driver

SQL> select sum (cdec) from tdec
+-------------+
| sum         |
+-------------+
| 10          |
+-------------+
SQLRowCount returns 1
1 rows fetched
SQL> select * from tdec
+------------+----------+
| rnum       | cdec     |
+------------+----------+
| 0          |          |
| 1          | -1       |
| 2          | 0        |
| 3          | 1        |
| 4          | 0        |
| 5          | 10       |
+------------+----------+

Doing a simple prepare and describe col

Which version of psqlodbc driver are you using?
The recently released version (8.4.0200) will fix the problem.
