Abstract
According to various embodiments, systems and methods for performing unit conversion operations in a database system are provided. According to embodiments, a database operation will require unit conversion. A number of unit conversions that might be required both before and after performance of the operation can then be estimated. At least some of the data entries implicated by the operation can then be converted from a first unit to a second unit depending on the result of the estimation.
