Hi Milan

Actually the main purpose of this exercise was to provide a Vmware
appliance that users could download to evaluate. So, it had to be a
linux variety.

And there are two components .. a linux client and the windows server
( under wine ).

But luckily I have found a fix ... I changed the column in question to
float instead of decimal, and that works for me.
