The jugglingdb MySQL adapter now supports using the `dataType` column/property attribute to specify what MySQL column type is used for many jugglingdb types.
The following type-dataType combinations are supported (incomplete):
* Number
* integer types
The following type-dataType combinations are supported:
* <h4> Number </h4>
* <h5> integer </h5>
* tinyint
* smallint
* mediumint
* int
* bigint
* use the 'limit' option to alter the display width
* example:
Use the `limit` option to alter the display width.
Example:
`{ count : { type: Number, dataType: 'smallInt' }}`
* floating point types
* <h5> floating point types </h5>
* float
* double
* use the `precision` and `scale` options to specify custom precision. Default is (16,8).
* example:
Use the `precision` and `scale` options to specify custom precision. Default is (16,8).
Example:
`{ average : { type: Number, dataType: 'float', precision: 20, scale: 4 }}`
* fixed-point exact value types
* <h5> fixed-point exact value types </h5>
* decimal
