Description
The fetch_dataframe method provided by the Redshift connector appears to return more decimal places than expected. For example, 0.074 becomes 0.07400000095367, likely due to how Redshift stores and retrieves floating-point or decimal values with higher precision than originally intended.
The first image shows what was returned by the fetch_dataframe method and although the revenue growth column is exactly what we expected (exact user inputs without more decimal places), when we actually take a look at one of the values specifically (second one in this case), we get the value in the second image. This suggests that fetch_dataframe is already returning extra decimal places but just not viewable when printing the whole dataframe. For now, we have identified that this is a problem for the datatypes REAL and DOUBLE PRECISION on the redshift connector.
