<p>
|
|
A single precision floating-point data type used in <codeph>CREATE TABLE</codeph> and <codeph>ALTER
|
|
TABLE</codeph> statements.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p conref="../shared/impala_common.xml#common/syntax_blurb"/>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
In the column definition of a <codeph>CREATE TABLE</codeph> statement:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<codeblock><varname>column_name</varname> FLOAT</codeblock>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>Range:</b> 1.40129846432481707e-45 .. 3.40282346638528860e+38, positive or negative
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>Precision:</b> 6 to 9 significant digits, depending on usage. The number of significant digits does
|
|
not depend on the position of the decimal point.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>Representation:</b> The values are stored in 4 bytes, using
|
|
<xref href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-precision_floating-point_format" scope="external" format="html">IEEE 754 Single Precision Binary Floating Point</xref> format.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>Conversions:</b> Impala automatically converts <codeph>FLOAT</codeph> to more precise
|
|
<codeph>DOUBLE</codeph> values, but not the other way around. You can use <codeph>CAST()</codeph> to convert
|
|
<codeph>FLOAT</codeph> values to <codeph>TINYINT</codeph>, <codeph>SMALLINT</codeph>, <codeph>INT</codeph>,
|
|
<codeph>BIGINT</codeph>, <codeph>STRING</codeph>, <codeph>TIMESTAMP</codeph>, or <codeph>BOOLEAN</codeph>.
|
|
You can use exponential notation in <codeph>FLOAT</codeph> literals or when casting from
|
|
<codeph>STRING</codeph>, for example <codeph>1.0e6</codeph> to represent one million.
