I'm trying to insert floats into a MonetDB 5.0.0_beta1 db in table like this: create table P ( time timestamp not null, x numeric(5,2) not null, y numeric(5,2) not null ); using code like this: PreparedStatement ps = con.prepareStatement("insert into P (time,x,y) values (?,?,?)"); ps.setTimestamp(1, new Timestamp(time.getTime())); ps.setFloat(2, x); ps.setFloat(3, y); and get an error like this: java.sql.SQLException: MALException:(unknown):wrong argument for prepared statement (expected decimal instead of decimal) Is this a bug?
