float

Hello,

I have to insert float values into different SQL Servers. Each one can have different locales so in one it the representation could be "42,2" and at another one "42.2" or whatever. How should i construct the query so it works in any SQL Server?

Do i need to detect the locale of the server before constructing the query or what?

Thanks in advance mates.
