Can't put Double number in BigDecimal variable

Question

I\'m using a Double variable which holds the Item price. That variable is stored in postgresql database under a column of money type. I use setBigDecimal(position,value) SQL fu

Answer 1

This program illustrates conversion in both directions between Double and BigDecimal:

import java.math.BigDecimal;

public class Test {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Double d1 = 1.3;
    BigDecimal bd1 = BigDecimal.valueOf(d1.doubleValue());
    Double d2 = bd1.doubleValue();
    System.out.println(d2);
  }
}

Note that the conversion to Double may not be exact.
