Rails - Feb 2005 - [PATCH] SQLServer and float scale info returned from the db

I''ve thought about this a bit more ...

The problem is that Ruby keys are not numeric values, but strings. So 2 
and 2.0 ARE and should be treated as different values.

But on to the real problem ... ruby formats floats with a decimal 
remainder, even if SQLServer returns a scale of 0 (meaning that there is 
no decimal ... it is essentially an integer value). So when the database 
says, "hey, this is to be represented with a scale of 0, as an
integer",
we should do that (and it should be handled in the connection adapters 
... I''m not sure how other databases like postgres handle scale. Maybe 
someone could report on this?).

I''ve included a patch with the fix, to be applied to 
sqlserver_adapter.rb. I''ll file a bugreport and attach the patch there 
as well.

Does this sound reasonable to everyone?

Britt
