+# Note: This mapping deliberately does not contain a value for float.
+# The reason for that is that it is better to just let Spanner determine
+# the parameter type instead of specifying one explicitly. The reason for
+# this is that if the client specifies FLOAT64, and the actual column that
+# the parameter is used for is of type FLOAT32, then Spanner will return an
+# error. If however the client does not specify a type, then Spanner will
+# automatically choose the appropriate type based on the column where the
+# value will be inserted/updated or that it will be compared with.
