Issue-69

I changed the subject.

How about:

[[
Extensions to the Direct Mapping should note the spirit of this mapping, i.e. to use a valid representation of an XML Schema Datatype corresponding to the SQL datatype. For numerics, booleans and dates, the canonical XML Schema lexical representation is used. Vendor extensions may represent data outside of the minimal SQL conformance.  Such
data will map to data types with higher precision than those specified by the literal map.  The exact mapping of data outside of the SQL specification is not specified
in this document.
]]

You said:
I'd like editorial suggestions, as well as advice from the WG about whether we should materialize the ellusive minimal intersection between SQL and XSD so that others don't have to do it:

decimal  18 digits per XSD
integer  18 digits per XSD
double   '±' + 16ch mantissa + 4ch exp per IEEE754  // what to do with NAN, +∞, −∞?
date     4 digits per SQL
time     hh:mm:ss.mmmmmm per SQL

I think this information is valuable and should be included in both specs.


All the best, Ashok

Extensions are likely to map data outside of the minimal SQL conformance into data types with higher precision than those specified by the literal map.
