We are extracting data from SQL Server/Oracle using ADF and storing it in Parquet format. When reading the files in Databricks using spark.read.parquet, decimal values are getting truncated—for example, 1245.1111111189979 becomes 1245.111111118. This results in a loss of precision. Thanks in Advance.
