[Kexi-devel] [patch] fix for handling decimal (numeric) values

[Jarosław Staniek]

Hello

A patch to include in mdbtools.

- fixed importing decimal (numeric) values
   (by fixing setting fractional point's position and adding negative sign when
    needed)

Notes:
1. The "negative" bit is the one most significant from the first byte:

  ( *(mdb->pg_buf+start) & 0x80) )

2. I used int negtive variable to speed up the calculations.

3. There was also a bug in using memmove()

4. The patch is already tested and included within Kexi MDB Import driver, 
which utilizes mdbtools.
