Right now, while the database is still dialect 1, the high-precision pseudo-numerics are still doubles. If you use the gfix way to change the dialect without doing the intermediate step (with a dialect 2 client, as described in the original Migration Guide), you will never know which is which.

Please don't do it this way!
