Create an oracle table - Fields in Double / Decimal

Question

1.00/5 (1 vote)

See more:

In my C# program, I have a piece of code to create an Oracle table. The table has two fields, X and Y, which should be in double in data type. If I set " ... X double, Y double, ...", I receive an error: ORA-00905: missing keyword. However, if I changed the data type as decimal, it code went through. Then, when I insert records into the table dynamically, the saved X & Y values are integer values in the table rather than as double original source. The data type of X/Y in the table is Number. How can this problem be fixed? Thanks in advance.

C#

using (OracleCommand cmd = new OracleCommand( "create table " + tblName +
    "(  IIT Varchar2(7) NOT NULL, ETime Number, TrainID Number, CarNo Number, " +
    "   DestinationNo Number, TrkID Varchar2(12), TrackName Varchar2(2), " +
    "   Others Varchar2(10), X decimal, Y decimal  )", connection) )

Searched and then changed the data type as Binary_Double. Then it went through.

I'm not sure if DOUBLE is a valid data type in Oracle. Try FLOAT or NUMBER instead.
