float, double precision and real

Approximate number data types for use with floating point numeric data. Floating point data is approximate; not all values in the data type range can be precisely represented.

float[(precision)]

Floating point number. Storage size is 4 bytes if precision < 16, and 8 bytes if precision >= 16. The range and storage precision is machine dependent.

float columns with a precision of 1-15 are stored as real; those with higher precision are stored as double precision.

double precision

Floating point number. Storage size is 8 bytes. The range and storage precision is machine dependent.

real

Floating point number. Storage size is 4 bytes. The range and storage precision is machine dependent.
