Which data type can be used for floating-point numbers without losing precision?

ABINARY

BVARIANT

CINTEGER

DDOUBLE

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

In Snowflake, the DOUBLE data type is used for floating-point numbers and can represent a wide range of values without losing precision. This data type is ideal for storing numerical values that require decimal precision.

Define the Column: When creating a table, specify the column with the DOUBLE data type to store floating-point numbers.

CREATE TABLE example_table (

id INTEGER,

value DOUBLE

);

Insert Data: Insert floating-point numbers into the DOUBLE column.

INSERT INTO example_table (id, value) VALUES (1, 123.456);

Wait, is this a trick question? Obviously, D) DOUBLE is the right answer. I'd double-check the other options, they seem a bit... flat.

Hmm, C) INTEGER? More like 'not-so-smart' choice. D) DOUBLE is the only option that can handle my massive decimal numbers.

Yeah, C) INTEGER wouldn't be able to handle those massive decimal numbers.

I was gonna say B) VARIANT, but then I remembered that's for mixed data types. D) DOUBLE is the double-down choice!

A) BINARY? Really? That's for bits, not floating-point numbers! D) DOUBLE is the clear winner here.
