Thomas Dudziak commented on DDLUTILS-20: ---------------------------------------- Actually, this is not the case. If you read the paragraph "Floating-Point Numbers" below the table then you'll see that the scale parameter is not applicable to floating point numbers. As per Oracle 8.1.7 spec, page 2-11: "NUMBER is a floating-point number with decimal precision 38. Note that a scale value is not applicable for floating-point numbers." I refrained from using the ANSI datatypes until I have a Oracle 8 database to test against (is in the works). > Oracle FLOAT and DOUBLE type mappings have zero scale > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DDLUTILS-20 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DDLUTILS-20 > Project: DdlUtils > Type: Bug > Reporter: Richard Bounds > Assignee: Thomas Dudziak > > In Oracle8Platform, the types FLOAT and DOUBLE are mapped to NUMBER(38). > According to Oracle's docs, this type has zero scale. It looks like floating > point numbers should be specified either as just NUMBER or FLOAT(n).
