MySqlDecimal Structure
In This Topic
Represents MySQL type DECIMAL.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Structure MySqlDecimal 
   Inherits System.ValueType
   Implements System.Data.SqlTypes.INullable, System.IComparable, System.IConvertible, System.IFormattable, System.Xml.Serialization.IXmlSerializable 
 
Remarks
This structure was created because the System.Decimal type cannot handle all MySQL DECIMAL values. Like MySQL Server, the MySqlDecimal structure internally stores its value as a string, which allows working with huge numbers.
Example
The following example demonstrates how to insert to and fetch from a table some MySqlDecimal values. 
MySqlCommand insertCommand = new MySqlCommand("INSERT INTO decimal_test (f_decimal) VALUES (:p1)", connection);

 insertCommand.Parameters.Add("p1", MySqlDecimal.MaxValue);
 insertCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();

 MySqlCommand selectCommand = new MySqlCommand("SELECT f_decimal FROM decimal_test", connection);

 using (MySqlDataReader reader = selectCommand.ExecuteReader())
   while (reader.Read())
     for (int i = 0; i < reader.FieldCount; ++i)
       Console.WriteLine(reader.GetProviderSpecificValue(i));
