[firebird-support] Raising the scale of a NUMERIC field

I need to change the scale of numeric domain from (15,4) to (15,8). I cannot use the ALTER command, since FB doesn't allow such change. BUT I'm 100% sure that all the existing data would perfectly fit in (15,8) so, the question is: In this case, is it safe to make the change direct in the system

MR No, a direct system table update like that would rescale all your existing MR numbers. Eg from (15,4) to (15,8) a value 54321.1234 would become MR 5.43211234 Not really. You can test by yourself... seems that stored values are associated with a record in RDB$FORMATS that describes the original
