Hello,
I am trying to retrieve data of numeric type from a postgres database. I use the octave database package 2.4.4. However it throws an error when executing a simple select query:
“no converter found for element oid 1700”.
I guess that the numeric type is not supported by the database package.
I cannot change the database itself.
Is there a way I can tell octave/database to automatically convert numeric into float8 for example?
So far the workaround I have found is to add a CAST for every numeric field in the query itself but that is painful when there are many numeric fields....
Thanks.
