Hi!
Can someone explain why I can't change a field from numeric (15,4) to
numeric (15,6) [error is "New scale specified for column TESTE must be
at most 4."], but can change it to numeric (17,6) ?
Internally, all the variations uses the same bigint 64bits and
accepts the same range of values, so

Because (15, 6) provides less integral precision (9 digits i

Are you sure? I can store such value both in (15, 4) as well in (15, 6).
The range of accepted values for (15, 6) and (17, 6) is the same:
-9223.372.036.854,775808 to 9223.372.036.854,775807
