title: C# Float to Real in SQL Server
body: <p>I am attempting to use Entity Framework and have a contact database that has Longitude and Latitude data from Google Maps.</p>
  
  <p>The guide says that this should be stored as float.</p>
  
  <p>I have created my POCO entity which includes <code>Longitude</code> as a <code>float</code> and <code>Latitude</code> as a <code>float</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I have just noticed that in the database, these both come up as <code>real</code>.</p>
  
  <p>There is still a lot of work to be done before I can get any data back from Google, I am very far away from testing and I was just wondering if anyone can tell me if this is going to be a problem later on?</p>
