pQuery.setFloat

Signature: pQuery.setFloat(parameterName, value)

Returns: ParameterizedQuery pQuery - this ParameterizedQuery object. To see what methods can be used on a ParameterizedQuery, refer to the 'Parameterized Query' functions.

Sets the parameterName to the given Java Float value.

Note

The JDBC driver converts this to an SQL REAL value when it sends it to the database.

Note

The parameterName may include the parameter prefix character (colon ':' or at sign '@') but is not required. For example: ':fieldValue' and 'fieldValue' will reference the same named parameter.

Parameters

Type	Name	Description	Default
String	parameterName	the name of the parameter
String or Float	value	the value to use for parameterName

Example

// Create the pQuery object with the SQL to be called
var pQuery = qie.getParameterizedQuery(
   "update patient set balance = :balance where patient_id = 1"
);

// Example: value as Float
pQuery.setFloat("balance", 91.25);

// Execute the query
var queryResult = pQuery.doQuery("EMR Database");


// Example: value as String
pQuery = qie.getParameterizedQuery(
   "update patient set balance = :balance where patient_id = 1"
);

pQuery.setFloat("balance", "85.50");

queryResult = pQuery.doQuery("EMR Database");


// Example: parameterName with prefix and value as String
pQuery = qie.getParameterizedQuery(
   "update patient set balance = :balance where patient_id = 1"
);

pQuery.setFloat(":balance", "78.25");

queryResult = pQuery.doQuery("EMR Database");
