    @gatorsmile I answered to your comments about DB2 in the e-mail.
    
    @cloud-fan that would help, but not solve the problem. It would just make 
the problem being generated by bigger numbers.
    
    As you can see from the e-mail, DB2 behavior is actually in accordance to 
SQL standards and the other DBs, it just have a smaller maximum precision. And 
the case of throwing an exception is point 3 of my e-mails and it is out of 
scope of this PR, because I think we best discuss before which is the right 
approach in that case and then I can eventually create a PR.
    Therefore, also DB2 behavior is aligned to the other SQL engines, the SQL 
standard and Spark is the only one which is currently behaving differently.
