Description Wolf Behrenhoff 2018-10-30 08:38:55 UTC 
SUMMARY
Importing MDB files with floating point values may fail depending on the current locale.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have a standard Kubuntu installation with German language (or, I suspect, any other locale where the decimal point is not '.' but ',')
2. Import MDB file
3. Look at floating point values -> the digits after the decimal point are missing
4. Close Kexi
5. start a shell and run: LANG=C kexi-3.1 file.mdb
7. Import file again
8. Now have correct floating point values

Thanks for the report Wolf!

Hi Wolf,
I've tested KEXI by importing Northwind2003 database. It has orders.freight column of floating-point type. Tested de_DE and pl_PL. KEXI versions: 3.1.0 and 3.2.0 beta 1. Unfortunately can't reproduce the issue, values after the point are imported.

Is it possible that you create a small test Access file that reproduces the issue and double check if you used KEXI 3.1.0? You can attach here (compressed first).

Thanks.

Moving to 3.2.1 milestone since there's no feedback.
