Oracle Numeric data type precision and scale
Posted: Sat Mar 05, 2005 2:45 pm
Hi All,
A column defined in Oracle9i as NUMBER gets translated as Decimal with length as 38 and scale as 0 OCI9i Stage.
I suspect that this is causing rounding up of numeric values to some extent and could be the reason for some of the mismatches when we do tests like
select sum(col1) from table
in target and source
Have anyone faced similar problems before and if so any suggestions?
Thanks,
Rao
