❗️

This is a legacy Apache Ignite documentation

The new documentation is hosted here: https://ignite.apache.org/docs/latest/

Apache Ignite supports most of the major features of ANSI-99 out-of-the-box. The following table shows Ignite compliance to SQL:1999 (Core).

Feature ID, Feature NameSupport
E011 Numeric data typesIgnite fully supports the following sub-features:
>E011–01 INTEGER and SMALLINT data types (including all spellings)

Ignite provides partial support for the following sub-features:
>E011–03 DECIMAL and NUMERIC data types. Fixed is not supported for DEC and NUMERIC, so there are violations for:
>>7) If a is omitted, then a of 0 (zero) is implicit (6.1 )
>>22) NUMERIC specifies the data type exact numeric, with the decimal precision and scale specified by the and .
>>23) DECIMAL specifies the data type exact numeric, with the decimal scale specified by the and the implementation-defined decimal precision equal to or greater than the value of the specified.
