Hi, everybody: I have the following problem: when I execute a select sum sentence under zope the result value is an integer althought the column type is float. For example: select sum(hours) from task where id_resource=14 returns 4 under zope but if I test it under sql_plus it returns 4.5 Does anybody have any idea? I´m using an Oracle 8i database conected to zope with ZOracle DA Product Alejandro Pancani apancani@topgroup.com.ar
