 Are there any problems with float type operators?
I have tryed to use the operator '=' in a query and
have received the following message:

Query sent to backend is "retrieve 
(ent1.all) where ent1.att_1 = 567.91 "
NOTICE:Apr  3 09:58:52:there is no operator = for types float4 and float8
NOTICE:Apr  3 09:58:52:You will either have to retype this query using an
NOTICE:Apr  3 09:58:52:explicit cast, or you will have to define the 
operator


Thanks ,

Paulo Franklin
