   We should consider what we want to do here. Technically, you could have 
lower precision if you wanted to store really really small values. For example, 
a `duration_seconds` column with nanosecond precision and is never greater than 
1 millisecond could be stored as `decimal(6, 9)`. This is allowed by the spec 
currently. We don't state that P >= S.
