Number update problem

Posted: Fri 07 Mar 2008 10:23

I have a table with some values:

create table test_number(id number(10) primary key,
value number);

and a simple test code:

var
data1: Double;
data2: Double;
begin
data1 := 17.8893827617777/10.2937219385664;
OraQuery1.Refresh;
OraQuery1.First;
OraQuery1.Edit;
OraQuery1.FieldByName('VALUE').AsFloat := data1;
OraQuery1.Post;
OraSession1.Commit;
OraQuery1.Refresh;
OraQuery1.First;
data2 := OraQuery1.FieldByName('VALUE').AsFloat;
if (data1 = data2) then Edit1.Text := 'Equal!'
else Edit1.Text := 'Not equal!';
end;

Then I run this code I see 'Not equal!' message in Edit1 field. Why value in data1 is not equal to value in data2?

SQL*Plus gives me a value=1.73789255903187 from updated column.

Tested with Oracle 10.2.0.3, Delphi7, ODAC 6.25.2.14.

This is normal behaviour because Double variable holds a value approximately with limited precision. You can treat Double values
as equal, if their difference is small enough. For example:

if abs(data1 - data2) < 1E-10 then
Edit1.Text := 'Equal!'

Of couse, I know about double types arithmetics rules, but if I will write this code on PL/SQL it will give me 'Equal' result. If I put some values in table, I should give it back with no changes, is not it?
I think Delphi, OCI and Oracle Server have differences in Double presentation, am I right?

And?
Do you have different support for ODAC purchased users? I have found nothing...

Conversion of Double value to NUMBER and back can lead to some difference, because Delphi Double and Oracle NUMBER types use different format.

And what is about BINARY_FLOAT or BINARY_DOUBLE?

Theoretically, BINARY_DOUBLE type can be converted to Delphi Double without any changes. But actually this depends on Oracle client and server.

again...

I have created table with DOUBLE_PRECISION column:

CREATE TABLE SCOTT.TEST_BINARY
(
ID NUMBER(10),
VALUE BINARY_DOUBLE
);

and this is a simple test code:

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
data1: Double;
data2: Double;
begin
data1 := 177./3.456789;
OraQuery1.Refresh;
OraQuery1.First;
OraQuery1.Edit;
OraQuery1.FieldByName('VALUE').AsFloat := data1;
OraQuery1.Post;
OraSession1.Commit;
OraQuery1.Refresh;
OraQuery1.First;
data2 := OraQuery1.FieldByName('VALUE').AsFloat;
if (data1 = data2) then Edit1.Text := 'Equal!'
else Edit1.Text := 'Not equal!';
end;

end.

Then I run this code I see 'Not equal!' message in Edit1 field.

Then I have executed this code in SQL*Plus:

update test_binary set value=177.0/3.456789;
commit;

and run this code I see 'Equal!' message in Edit1 field:

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
data1: Double;
data2: Double;
begin
data1 := 177./3.456789;
OraQuery1.Refresh;
OraQuery1.First;
//OraQuery1.Edit;
//OraQuery1.FieldByName('VALUE').AsFloat := data1;
//OraQuery1.Post;
//OraSession1.Commit;
//OraQuery1.Refresh;
//OraQuery1.First;
data2 := OraQuery1.FieldByName('VALUE').AsFloat;
if (data1 = data2) then Edit1.Text := 'Equal!'
else Edit1.Text := 'Not equal!';
end;

end.

I think you have a bug then write down value to the database.

Any suggestions?

This is the normal case for floating point numbers.

There can be some loss of accuracy when the parameter value is converted from Delphi Double type to the Oracle internal format.

Posted: Wed 24 Jun 2009 08:03
by alexmcc
This is the NOT normal case for floating point numbers in this case.
What is about IEEE-754 Floating Point Standard? It's specified how floating-points numbers encoding into bits.

I think problem is in Delphi Double type, not in ODAC. Maybe it have double extended internal precision (Double = Extended)?

ODAC passes the value to Oracle client, and gets it back as is, without any conversion.

So the loss of accuracy occurs because of an Oracle problem.

That's not an Oracle problem. I have a good test now.

I have Windows 2003 Server with Oracle Database and Client 10.2.0.4 installed. All test programs runs in this computer and use same database and client.
I have created the table and have inserted a row:

create table test_binary(
id number(10) primary key,
value binary_double);

insert into test_binary values(1,0);
commit;

I have created a C++ code with (BDS 2006 and ODAC 6.80.0.5 (production)). I use two OraQuery objects for data manipulation:

OraQuery1 (select * from test_binary where id = :p1)
OraQuery2 (update test_binary set value = :p2 where id = :p1)

This is my code:

Code: Select all

 double data1;
 double data2;
 data1 = (double)17.8893827617777/(double)10.2937219385664;
 OraQuery2 -> ParamByName("P1") -> AsInteger = 1;
 OraQuery2 -> ParamByName("P2") -> AsFloat = data1;
 OraQuery2 -> Execute();
 OraQuery1 -> ParamByName("P1") -> AsInteger = 1;
 OraQuery1 -> Open();
 OraQuery1 -> First();
 data2 = OraQuery1 -> FieldByName("VALUE") -> AsFloat;
 Edit4 -> Text = data1 - data2;
 // if (abs(data1 - data2)  Text = "Equal!";
 else
  Edit3 -> Text = "Not equal!";

 Edit5 -> Text = DBL_EPSILON;
 OraQuery1 -> Close();

 OraSession1 -> Commit();
It gives me "Not equal!" result in Edit3.

I have udertaken some debug steps and have found what value in data1 is equals to 3F FB CE 68 6D 90 0E F0 (or 1.7378925590318737). But in table this value stored as 3F FB CE 68 6D 90 0E DF (or 1.7378925590318700). I use Oracle function DUMP for testing and IEEE-754 calculators from here: http://babbage.cs.qc.edu/IEEE-754/64bit.html. And this value back to client with no changes.

One more strange thing.

If I use SQL*Plus for calcule this value as:

update test_binary set value = 17.8893827617777/10.2937219385664;
commit;

and take it back with this code:

Code: Select all

 double data1;
 double data2;
 data1 = (double)17.8893827617777/(double)10.2937219385664;
 OraQuery1 -> ParamByName("P1") -> AsInteger = 1;
 OraQuery1 -> Open();
 OraQuery1 -> First();
 data2 = OraQuery1 -> FieldByName("VALUE") -> AsFloat;
 // if (abs(data1 - data2)  Text = "Equal!";
 else
  Edit7 -> Text = "Not equal!";

 OraQuery1 -> Close();
it gives me "Equal!" result in Edit7.

I have very strange thing for you.
I have written the same fragment with MSVC 8.0 and OCCI. Result is equal and debugging (and Oracle DUMP function to) shows what I write down to table value 3F FB CE 68 6D 90 0E F0 (or 1.7378925590318737) and take it back with no changes, I have "Equal" message.
This is my code:

Code: Select all

#define db_user_name "scott"
#define db_password "tiger"
#define db_conn_str "home"


int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
    Environment* env;  
    Connection* conn;
try
    {
    /*
    Create environment for OCCI.
    */
    env = Environment::createEnvironment(Environment::OBJECT);  
    /*
    Connect to db
    */
    conn = env->createConnection(db_user_name, db_password, db_conn_str);
	if (!conn) return -1;
	/*
	 Calculate result
	*/
	double test_data = (double)17.8893827617777/(double)10.2937219385664;
	/*
	 Put it to BDouble
	*/
	BDouble val;
	val.value = test_data;
	val.isNull = false;
	/*
	 Write to table
	*/
	Statement* update_stmt = conn->createStatement("update test_binary set value = :1 where id = :2");
	update_stmt -> setAutoCommit(false);
	update_stmt -> setBDouble(1, val);
	update_stmt -> setInt(2, 1);
	update_stmt -> executeUpdate();
	conn -> commit();
	conn -> terminateStatement(update_stmt);
    /*
    Get it back
    */
    Statement* stmt = conn->createStatement("select value from test_binary where id = :1");
	stmt -> setInt(1, 1);
    /*
    Execute query
    */
    ResultSet *rs = stmt->executeQuery();
    BDouble res;
    while (rs->next())
          {
		   /* get it as BDouble */
		   res = rs->getBDouble(1);
		   cout closeResultSet(rs);
    env->terminateConnection(conn);
    Environment::terminateEnvironment(env);
    }
  catch(SQLException &sqlExcp)
    {
    cerr  rollback();
    }
  return 0;
}
A bit late I will write this test with BDS 2006 and pure OCI and you can not refer to a difference in compilers :-) .
And if the result will be similar, you will be necessary to find a new explanation to this fact.

Waiting...

I have changed the code (code using BDS 2006 and ODAC) in the previous message - it's was wrong, becouse I have copied it from wrong place.
Now it looks like:

Code: Select all

 double data1;
 double data2;
 data1 = (double)17.8893827617777/(double)10.2937219385664;
 OraQuery2 -> ParamByName("P1") -> AsInteger = 1;
 OraQuery2 -> ParamByName("P2") -> AsFloat = data1;
 OraQuery2 -> Execute();
 OraQuery1 -> ParamByName("P1") -> AsInteger = 1;
 OraQuery1 -> Open();
 OraQuery1 -> First();
 data2 = OraQuery1 -> FieldByName("VALUE") -> AsFloat;
 Edit4 -> Text = data1 - data2;
 // if (abs(data1 - data2)  Text = "Equal!";
 else
  Edit3 -> Text = "Not equal!";

 Edit5 -> Text = DBL_EPSILON;
 OraQuery1 -> Close();

 OraSession1 -> Commit();

This difference that you bind the parameter as SQLT_BDOUBLE while ODAC binds it as SQLT_FLT.

You can use the following code to bind the parameter as BINARY_DOUBLE:

Code: Select all

type
  TOraParam_ = class(TOraParam);
...
  OraQuery.Params[0].AsFloat := d;
  TOraParam_(OraQuery.Params[0]).SubDataType := dtBDouble;
This code has no effect for the current ODAC version. But we will fix this problem in the next ODAC build. The BINARY_DOUBLE parameter will be used by default when you edit SELECT query with a BINARY_DOUBLE field.
