Are you sure it is the float column that is the problem? Have you tried removing the float out of the select list and does it work then?

What platform are you running on and what version of Oracle's ODBC driver are you using?

Can you create a table with only the problem column type in, one row containing the problem data then run a fetchrow_array with DBI tracing enabled at 15. How you enable tracing depends on your platform, it may be "export DBI_TRACE=15=x.log" or "set DBI_TRACE=15=x.log" see DBI docs. I've be very interested in the contents of that log file.
