That was golf though

Golf has always been great

haha Arithmetic overflow error for type varchar

@PaulWhite only fails for style 3?

@ypercubeᵀᴹ Yes, the other styles use less precision. We're supposed to use 3 to ensure a round-trip representation

The max variant doesn't account for the space needed by the sign 😭

@PaulWhite but you can convert to varchar(8000) - or varchar(30) - and then to varchar(max)? weird

Yep, it's stupid

Also, the error message reports an inaccurate value

An imprecise value, I should say

The true representation being -999999.999999999883584678173065185546875

(closest double precision value)

eh, the diff is less than a satoshi coin ;)

your value has been taxed by 0.0000000000000116415321826934814453125%

true

but this isn't helpful:

@PaulWhite fewer

@PaulWhite it's a catch-22 situation.

Spain - Germany is about to start

They're always about to kick off those two

Good job France keeps them apart

I see Morocco beat Belgium
