Work with NUMERIC data

Spanner supports a NUMERIC data type in both GoogleSQL and PostgreSQL databases.

GoogleSQL NUMERIC

The GoogleSQL NUMERIC is an exact numeric data type capable of representing an exact numeric value with a precision of 38 and scale of 9. This page provides an overview of how NUMERIC is represented in client libraries.

PostgreSQL NUMERIC

The PostgreSQL NUMERIC type is an arbitrary decimal precision numeric data type with a maximum precision (total digits) of 147,455 and a maximum scale (digits to the right of the decimal point) of 16,383.

Spanner DDL does not support specifying precision and scale for PostgreSQL NUMERIC columns. However, numeric values can be cast to fixed precision values in DML statements. For example:

update t1 set numeric_column = (numeric_column*0.8)::numeric(5,2);

The type DECIMAL is an alias for NUMERIC.

PostgreSQL NUMERIC columns cannot be used when specifying primary keys, foreign keys, or secondary indexes.

Represent NUMERIC in each client library language

To maintain the fidelity of NUMERIC values, each Spanner client library stores those values in an appropriate data type in the client library language. The following table lists the data types to which NUMERIC is mapped in each supported language.

Language	GoogleSQL	PostgreSQL
C++	spanner::Numeric
C#	SpannerNumeric
Go	big.Rat	Custom PGNumeric
Java	BigDecimal	Custom type. See PostgreSQL Java library notes.
Node.js	Big
PHP	custom Numeric
Python	Decimal	Decimal with custom annotation
Ruby	BigDecimal

Three client libraries, C++, C# and PHP have each implemented a custom type to represent Spanner SQL's NUMERIC type. All other libraries use an existing type.

The C++ client library spanner::Numeric object does not support arithmetic operations. Instead, convert the contained number to the C++ object of choice. For example, you can extract the number as a string, which would represent the number at full fidelity and with no data loss. If, however, you know in advance that number fits, for example, within the range of std:int64_t or double, then you can access the value as that type.

PostgreSQL Java library notes

The Spanner Java client library uses a custom Value.pgNumeric type to store PostgreSQL NUMERIC values.

Write to a NUMERIC column

Multiple types are supported when writing to a NUMERIC column in a PostgreSQL table.

• Numerics

  INSERT INTO Table (id, PgNumericColumn) VALUES (1, 1.23)
  

• Integers

  INSERT INTO Table (id, PgNumericColumn) VALUES (1, 1)
  

• Doubles

  INSERT INTO Table (id, PgNumericColumn) VALUES (1, 1.23::float8)
  

• Untyped literals

  INSERT INTO Table (id, PgNumericColumn) VALUES (1, 'NaN')
  

Parameterized queries

When using parameterized queries, specify the parameters with $<index>, where <index> denotes the parameter position. The parameter should then be bound using p<index>. For example, INSERT INTO MyTable (PgNumericColumn) VALUES ($1) with the parameter being p1.

The Java client library supports the following types as parameterized values:

• Custom Value.pgNumeric

  Statement
    .newBuilder("INSERT INTO MyTable (PgNumericColumn) VALUES ($1), ($2)")
    .bind("p1")
    .to(Value.pgNumeric("1.23"))
    .bind("p2")
    .to(Value.pgNumeric("NaN"))
    .build()
  

• Doubles

  Statement
    .newBuilder("INSERT INTO MyTable (PgNumericColumn) VALUES ($1), ($2)")
    .bind("p1")
    .to(1.23D)
    .bind("p2")
    .to(Double.NaN)
    .build()
  

• Integers

    Statement
      .newBuilder("INSERT INTO MyTable (PgNumericColumn) VALUES ($1)")
      .bind("p1")
      .to(1)
      .build()
  

• Longs

    Statement
      .newBuilder("INSERT INTO MyTable (PgNumericColumn) VALUES ($1)")
      .bind("p1")
      .to(1L)
      .build()
  

Mutations

When using Mutations, the following values are allowed to be written to columns of numeric type:

• Strings

  Mutation
    .newInsertBuilder("MyTable")
    .set("PgNumericColumn")
    .to("1.23")
    .build()
  

• Values of BigDecimal types

  BigDecimals

  Mutation
    .newInsertBuilder("MyTable")
    .set("PgNumericColumn")
    .to(new BigDecimal("1.23"))
    .build()
  

  Ints

  Mutation
    .newInsertBuilder("MyTable")
    .set("PgNumericColumn")
    .to(1)
    .build()
  

  Longs

  Mutation
    .newInsertBuilder("MyTable")
    .set("PgNumericColumn")
    .to(1L)
    .build()
  

• Values obtained as a result of a call to Value.pgNumeric

  Mutation
    .newInsertBuilder("MyTable")
    .set("PgNumericColumn")
    .to(Value.pgNumeric("1.23"))
    .build()
  

Retrieve from a NUMERIC column

To obtain values stored in numeric columns of a ResultSet, use ResultSet.getString() or ResultSet.getValue().

• Strings

  resultSet.getString("PgNumericColumn")
  

• Custom Value

  Value pgNumeric = resultSet.getValue("PgNumericColumn");
  pgNumeric.getString(); // get underlying value as a String
  pgNumeric.getNumeric(); // get underlying value as a BigDecimal
  pgNumeric.getFloat64(); // get underlying value as aDouble
  

Add a NUMERIC column

The following sample shows how to add a NUMERIC column to a table called Venues using the Spanner client libraries.

C++

void AddNumericColumn(google::cloud::spanner_admin::DatabaseAdminClient client,
                      std::string const& project_id,
                      std::string const& instance_id,
                      std::string const& database_id) {
  google::cloud::spanner::Database database(project_id, instance_id,
                                            database_id);
  auto metadata = client
                      .UpdateDatabaseDdl(database.FullName(), {R"""(
                        ALTER TABLE Venues ADD COLUMN Revenue NUMERIC)"""})
                      .get();
  if (!metadata) throw std::move(metadata).status();
  std::cout << "`Venues` table altered, new DDL:\n" << metadata->DebugString();
}

NUMERIC is supported in the Spanner JDBC driver using the Java BigDecimal type. For examples of how NUMERIC is used, see the code samples in Connect JDBC to a GoogleSQL-dialect database.

Handle NUMERIC when creating a client library or driver

The NUMERIC type is encoded as a string in decimal or scientific notation within a google.protobuf.Value proto. This proto is wrapped as either a ResultSet, PartialResultSet, or a Mutation depending on whether it is being read or written. ResultSetMetadata will use the NUMERIC TypeCode to indicate that the corresponding value should be read as a NUMERIC.

When working with NUMERIC in a client library or driver you create, observe the following guidance.

• To read a NUMERIC from the ResultSet:

  1. Read the string_value from the google.protobuf.Value proto when TypeCode is NUMERIC

  2. Convert that string to the relevant type for the given language

• To write a NUMERIC using Mutations, use the string representation as the string_value in the google.protobuf.Value proto when given the relevant type.
