Line 2087 becomes:
ftBCD: //WIDTH=precision, DECIMALS=scale
//negative DECIMALS not allowed !!! oracle does allow negative
scale
begin
TDOMElement(ColumnNode).SetAttribute('fieldtype', 'fixed');
TDOMElement(ColumnNode).SetAttribute('WIDTH', '20' );
TDOMElement(ColumnNode).SetAttribute('DECIMALS',
IntToStr(ExportFields.Fields[ItemCounter].Field.size) );
end;
Note that precision and scale are poorly implemented in sqldb. I checked
both oracle and mysql and support for precision and scale is barely present
and severely limiting scale values. Reason for the fixed width in above
code. 20 should fit double type values since scale is limited to 4. So no
exponentes.
Haven't tested negative scales as allowed in oracle yet. I know Delphi 2006
crashes on negative values but I can't tell yet if negative scales ripple
through to TFieldDef.size.

The sqldb mysql implementation doesn't distinguish text from blob. Nothing
that can be done about in the export.
