Re: [basex-talk] Value out of range on xs:integer?

Hi Jorge,

1. Is xs:decimal guaranteed to work across implementations according to the

spec, or can that also be limited by a range?

For details, I recommend you to have a direct look into the relevant specifications (e.g. [1]). Talking about the existing implementations (eXist, Saxon, Zorba, XQilla, etc.), afaik, they all provide a larger range for values of type xs:decimal.

2. Is there a way to programmatically detect the range of xs:integer?

Not really. You’ll have to do arithmetics that exceed the usual limits for integer, long or double values, and check if errors like FOAR0002 are raised.

Hope this helps Christian
