Number format error in Project Management view?

[Tage Korsdal Nielsen]

EA revision: 10.0.1009

The field Element->Project Management->Effort.time seems to have a problem with ',' and '.'

Try:

1. Create an effort "A" and set time to "1"
2. Save it
3. Click on another effort
4. Click back on "A" - time now reads 1,000000 - ok.
5. Now edit effort to e.g. "Aa" and click save
6. Click on another effort
7. Click back on effort "Aa" - time now reads 1000000,000000

Maybe a locale issue?

I use english windows with locale set to Denmark.
Decimal symbol is set to ','
Digit grouping symbol is '.'

I have not come accross this elsewhere in EA.

Further investigations reveal that this only happens on my MySQL DB based repository.

My guess is that the update SQL format sends the value as it is shown in the dialog e.g. "1,000000", and it is then converted to 1e6 for the double value in the table, since the DB uses "," for thousands seperator.

I haven't found anywhere to change this  in the MySQL server or ODBC driver - apparently, with Oracle DB you can. But in any case, I think the update SQL commands from EA should convert this on the client site - SW teams may be international. :-)
