Hey guys,

As I am transitioning from MySQL, I want to run an issue by you.

In my integer/float/ decimal fields I use functions that create SET strings or INSERT FIELD and VALUES strings which place single quotes around the values. So far I have not seen any ill effects from this practice. If I create an INSERT manually and know I am dealing with a numeric value going into a numeric field i do not use the single quotes.

But in my functions I do not test or other wise know that the value of a name => value pair in an associative array is necessarily numeric. As I said so far, DB2 seems to know that the string I am inserting is a number and stores it correctly. So in my testing and what I have read, I have not been very concerned.

But I am creating code that run a financial entity. The more I code on the i, with PCI compliance in mind, the more I worry about getting things 100%.

Please let me know I have nothing to worry about...

Thanks
Rob
