Consider the following:
trbauer=# create table t1 (x numberic(3,2));
trbauer=# \d t1
Attribute | Type | Modifier
------------------------------------
X | numeric(3,2) |
trbauer=# create view v1 as select x*2 from t1;
trbauer=# \d v1
Attribute | Type | Modifier
-------------------------------------------
?column? | numeric(65535,65531) |
How do I get the precision on the calculated numeric field to be something
sane, like 3,2?
This is important for three reasons: 1.MSAccess chokes on views
containing these fields (citing the precision size). 2. The jdbc driver
takes _forever_ to retrieve these fields into big decimal. 3. I really
don't want to reconfigure my database to use floating points :)
Thanks,
