The <xref linkend="guc-extra-float-digits"> setting controls the
|

number of extra significant digits included when a floating point
|

value is converted to text for output. With the default value of

<literal>0</literal>, the output is the same on every platform

supported by PostgreSQL. Increasing it will produce output that

more accurately represents the stored value, but may be unportable.
