The following types are members of the ANSI/ISO SQL:2011 approximate predefined numeric set.
  • DOUBLE PRECISION
  • FLOAT
  • REAL

Although FLOAT, REAL, and DOUBLE PRECISION are distinct types as defined by the ANSI/ISO SQL:2011 standard, Teradata treats these types as equivalent. The approximate numeric data types represent floating point numbers.

See Numeric Data Types for more information about the approximate numeric data types supported by Teradata.
