Because SQL_DEC* values according to IEEE are, actually,
floating-point values, they must be treated the same way as
SQL_FLOAT and SQL_DOUBLE, IMHO.
I.e. like numerics based on SQL_DOUBLE in d
To summarize the proposed change:
The SQL_DEC_FIXED type is dropped in favour of using SQL_DEC34 with
subtypes, and I assume this to also mean the blr_dec_fixed is removed,
including the need to send the scale separately in the request BLR.
As a result, SQL_DEC34 will represent:
DECFLOAT wit

From the client-server interaction - yes, but supposedly not in
general, as it still can back physical field storage / PSQL variables / etc.

1. When sending values from client to server, will Firebird reject values with the wrong
scale for subtypes 1 and 2, or round them to the correct scale?
As an example, will sending 12.345 (12345e-3) for a DECIMAL(34,2) be rejected with an
incorrect scale
