    This includes DERBY types:
    
    REAL
    FLOAT(1<=n<=24)
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the specified representation is not recognized.
  - getDouble
```
static double getDouble(byte[] buffer,
                        int offset)
```
    Build a Java double from an 8-byte floating point representation.
    
    This includes DERBY types:
    
    FLOAT
    DOUBLE [PRECISION]
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the specified representation is not recognized.
