27 lut 2009 · NUMBER(P) P 0 YES Error code: ORA-01438. NUMBER(*, S) 38 S NO. Where the precision is the total number of digits and scale is the number of digits right or left (negative scale) of the decimal point. Oracle specifies ORA-01438 as.
The Oracle NUMBER data type has precision and scale. The precision is the number of digits in a number. It ranges from 1 to 38. The scale is the number of digits to the right of the decimal point in a number. It ranges from -84 to 127.
Currently I have a column that is declared as a NUMBER. I want to change the precision of the column to NUMBER (14,2). SO, I ran the command. alter table EVAPP_FEES modify AMOUNT NUMBER(14,2)'. for which, I got an error : column to be modified must be empty to decrease precision or scale.
The NUMERIC and DECIMAL data types can specify only fixed-point numbers. For those data types, the scale (s) defaults to 0. The FLOAT data type is a floating-point number with a binary precision b. The default precision for this data type is 126 binary, or 38 decimal. The DOUBLE PRECISION data type is a floating-point number with binary ...
Specifying scale and precision does not force all values to a fixed length. If a value exceeds the precision, then Oracle returns an error. If a value exceeds the scale, then Oracle rounds it. Specify an integer using the following form: NUMBER(p) This represents a fixed-point number with precision p and scale 0 and is equivalent to NUMBER(p,0).

12 mar 2019 · The scale defaults to zero. So when you declare a number(38), you're really specifying a number(38,0). That is one with 38 digits of precision and no scale. So the largest number you can store is the digit 9, 38 times. Whereas a number with no scale or precision allows the maximum values for both.
