They were floats, this was just cut n pasted from the SQL server GUI
output (albeit with an erroneouse space in the 19.454 by my fat finger
editing) as I was just trying to show what the values should be.

Anyhow problem solved by the two methods suggested above.

When did you start programming in Java? NIO has been around since 2002. You
shouldn't need to conclude anything about it from the URL.

Not everyone programming in Java reads about all the new stuff
in new Java versions.

True, but NIO is hardly new, and 1.4 is very, very far from being a
new Java version.

Yes. But if someone does not read it when the new Java version
come out, then the chance of reading it later is rather small
unless somehow being pointed to it.
