Nah. Plus there is no such type as 'NUMERIC' per se in Oracle. Just NUMBER( 
precision, scale ) or… FLOAT( precision ). (ignoring binary types for 
simplicity's sake).

A so-called 'integer' in Oracle is simple a number defined as NUMBER(p,0).

Th ANSI names such as NUMERIC(19,0), or DECIMAL(p,s), etc… are aliases for the 
relevant Oracle types, e.g. NUMBER(19,0).

Anyhow… none of this helps SQLite much… :P
