Hello Mihai.
A bit older standard describes Precision as : Precision
of decimal floating-point values is a positive value that specifies the
number of significant decimal digits in
the mantissa.
Thus:
cast(0.012 as DECIMAL(3, 3)) - ok
cast(0.012 as DECIMAL(2, 3)) - fail
cast(0.012 as DECIMAL(1, 3)) - fail
cast(0.012 as DECIMAL(2, 5)) - fail
Hello,
I notice that Calcite happily accepts decimal type specifications where
the
scale is greater than the precision.
There are quite a few tests with such types.
What is the meaning of such types?
The SQL 92 standard has this statement on page 109:
15)The <scale> of an <exact numeric type> shall not be greater than
the <precision> of the <exact numeric type>.
Thank you,
Mihai
