Thread: Storage space, RAM for NUMERIC

Storage space, RAM for NUMERIC

From

Folks,

How would I calculate storage space/required ram on a 50-digit NUMERIC?

And the docs state that NUMERIC is slow.   Is this just slow for calculations
(due to the conversion to float & back) or slow for index lookups as well?
