Well, we hit an exceptional field here: Base Rate can be a number (like 5% p.a.) or a reference to a yield curve like LIBOR or EURIBOR. Would we not hit exactly the same problem with NUMBER(3,9) or DECIMAL(3,9) when 0.10669129999999999 exceeds the precision/scale? Thank you again and cheers Andreas
