Driver_Decimal_Separator

Remarks

ODBC demands that drivers use the US decimal separator in the supported SQL. Nevertheless, there are drivers that do not use this format, but rather a format that depends on the country settings of the machine or the database client software. For those environments, the driver decimal separator can be set.

Procedure ShowDBAttribute Integer iDriver Handle hDatabase
    Integer iAttribValue
    Get_Attribute DF_DATABASE_DRIVER_DECIMAL_SEPARATOR of iDriver hDatabase to iAttribValue
    Showln "Decimal separator: " iAttribValue ", " (Character(iAttribValue))
End_Procedure

The sample code above shows the current setting for a given database. The database handle can be obtained via the DF_DATABASE_ID attribute.
