Purpose

Determines which algorithm the driver uses when converting a double or float value to a string value. By default, the driver uses its own internal conversion algorithm, which improves performance.

Valid Values

true | false

Behavior

If set to true, the driver uses the JVM algorithm when converting a double or float value to a string value. If your application cannot accept rounding differences and you are willing to sacrifice performance, set this value to true to use the JVM conversion algorithm.

If set to false, the driver uses its own internal algorithm when converting a double or float value to a string value. This value improves performance, but slight rounding differences within the allowable error of the double and float data types can occur when compared to the same conversion using the JVM algorithm.

Default

false

Data Type

Boolean
