Thanks Neven.
This simply means that Delphi developers cannot use MSSQL 7.0 decimal data
type. At least it is pointless, as money type is shorter than decimal, and
money is OK if no more than 4 positions after decimal point required. And if
more precision needed then real type may be some kind of a solution.
