I was just playing around in irb and noticed that while BigDecimal + Integer => BigDecimal, BigDecimal + Float => Float. Is there any reason for this? It seems inconsistent and means you have to check the class of any number you add to a BigDecimal, which looks very un-Ruby-like to me. Ashley

There''s a test for activerecord called test_numeric_fields in base_test.rb. here''s the test def test_numeric_fields m = NumericData.new( :bank_balance => 1586.43, :big_bank_balance => BigDecimal("1000234000567.95"), :world_population => 6000000000, :my_house_population => 3 ) assert m.save m1 =

Hi all, I''m working on a financial app, and have set up some columns in my tables as decimals with precision => 8 and scale => 2.

Hello How can I test equality with two objects when they include some attribute that is BigDecimal? if I make something like this: it "should ...whatever" do obj = Factory.create(:my_object) ... MyObject.first.should == obj end. FAILS This fails because the object expected is different from the object gotten, and the only difference are the BigDecimal attributes, that are

Hi, Why does ActiveRecord allow perception of success when updating an ID, however it doesn''t really work(i.e. no change in database)? Here''s an example. The update of "id" versus update of a non-existent attribute. ?> ai = AccountItem.find(:first) => #<AccountItem id: 1, account_id: 1, date: "2009-01-11", amount:

Hello generous coders, I''m having difficulty getting a couple of tests to pass. I have an address model which takes an address and with a callback on save and update passes the address to google''s geocoding service. The returned XML is parsed and saved to the address object: protected def geocode_address key = "mykey" url =

I was hoping 1.1 would provide a way to map SQL "decimal" column types to BigDecimal values, since BigDecimal is part of the Ruby standard api as of 1.8. But I don''t see any support for that in the migration documentation, and when I try to let Active Record do the mapping for me, it seems to coerce the column into a Float (as the AwdwR book says). Is it really there in

I have a strange problem with my setup of Passenger and Ruby Enterprise Edition. Sometimes the loading of BigDecimals from the database and session fails (silently) and the variable containing the BigDecimal is just empty. I cannot pinpoint where/when/how it happens, and it IS only periodic. I am using the newest versions of both Passenger and REE - I have even tried to run with latest commit

So, I''m personally cool with this change (patch from #5454, applied in [4596]), and I''ll make it work for Oracle tomorrow. But just wondering if folks considered the performance impact of the change? From a simple test it seems that BigDecimal math is about twice as slow as using Floats.

Hello, It''s pretty hard giving a practical example on this one. I have a partial which contains some generated Javascript. Something like: order_screen.rhtml ------------------------------------------- <h1>Order</h1> <div id="order_part"> <%=render :partial=>''order_new'' %> </div> <h1>Ordered products</h1>

I need to do some precise math, going to 12-14 decimal places, so I''m using BigDecimal. How can I store this in a db? I''m using postgresql 8.1.0, if that matters at all. I found a plugin [1] but it gives me the error "You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! The error occurred while evaluating nil.each_pair," with no line number. The plugin itself

I just switched to Edge Rails (revision 5207) since I want to use the BigDecimal support for an e-commerce website.. Unfortunately, some of my old code seems to be breaking things.. First off, it looks like my "skip_before_filter :check_authentication, :check_authorization, :only => [:login, :forgot_password]" doesn''t work at all, since the before_filter gets executed for

I''m having problems with using Rails for a financial application: the database stores financial fields as decimal, but ActiveRecord converts these to float - so I get the rounding errors you''d expect (http://www.mindprod.com/jgloss/floatingpoint.html). This has come up recently, and the recommended fix seems to be to be Tobi Luetke''s ''money'' gem

Hi, What do you guys use to definitely handle decimal numbers? This is getting me crazy!
