OCINumberFromReal()

Purpose

Converts a real (floating-point) type to an Oracle number.

Syntax

sword OCINumberFromReal ( OCIError           *err,
                          CONST dvoid        *rnum,
                          uword              rnum_length,
                          OCINumber          *number );

Parameters

err (IN/OUT)

The OCI error handle. If there is an error, it is recorded in err and this function returns OCI_ERROR. Obtain diagnostic information by calling OCIErrorGet().

rnum (IN)

Pointer to the floating point number to convert.

rnum_length (IN)

The size of the desired result, which equals sizeof({float | double | long double}).

number (OUT)

Given float converted to Oracle number.

Comments

This is a native type conversion function. It converts a machine-native floating point type to an Oracle number.

This function returns an error if number or rnum is null, or if rnum_length equals zero.
