> The way we determine how many significant digits after decimal point during
> decimal operation seems confusion, and in some cases, just doesn't make
> sense. Here is the experiments I did:
> 0: jdbc:drill:schema=dfs> select cast('12.3456' as decimal(18,6)) /
> cast('2.0' as decimal(38,1)) from data limit 1;
> +------------+
> | EXPR$0 |
> +------------+
> | 6.1728000000000000000000000 |
> +------------+
> 1 row selected (0.163 seconds)
> 0: jdbc:drill:schema=dfs> select cast('12.3456' as decimal(18,6)) /
> cast('2.0' as decimal(38,10)) from data limit 1;
> +------------+
> | EXPR$0 |
> +------------+
> | 6.1728000000000000 |
> +------------+
> 1 row selected (0.173 seconds)
> 0: jdbc:drill:schema=dfs> select cast('12.3456' as decimal(18,6)) /
> cast('2.0' as decimal(38,20)) from data limit 1;
> +------------+
> | EXPR$0 |
> +------------+
> | 6.172800 |
> +------------+
> 1 row selected (0.136 seconds)
> 0: jdbc:drill:schema=dfs> select cast('12.3456' as decimal(18,6)) /
> cast('2.0' as decimal(38,30)) from data limit 1;
> +------------+
> | EXPR$0 |
> +------------+
> | 6 |
> +------------+
> 1 row selected (0.185 seconds)
> Look at the last example, no decimal digits are displayed, even though I
> increased decimal scale.
