How can I store a BigDecimal (Java) value in a Real (SQlite) column?

Question

I\'m still having big problems with BigDecimal (the trail of tears started here, and continued to here so far.

Now I\'ve got the opposite problem - going from BigDec

Answer 1

I use the SQLite Integer type and convert like so:

BigDecimal bd = new BigDecimal("1234.5678");

int packedInt = bd.scaleByPowerOfTen(4).intValue(); // packedInt now = 12345678

Now save packedInt to SQLite Integer field.

To go back to BigDecimal:

BigDecimal bd = new BigDecimal(packedInt); // bd = 12345678

bd = bd.scaleByPowerOfTen(-4);             // now bd = 1234.5678
