<SL> The JDBC conventions are more than appropriate for Java and (as you suggest) internal uses, there are plenty of languages where a NUMERIC( 10, 2) and NUMERIC( 15, 2) would have significantly different meanings, due to the data access components. Therefore, the load/dump utility could produce a database which is incompatible with the target application. <JS> OK, I've got a problem to solve. Anybody: How do I tell from the Firebird system tables the difference between numeric(10,2) and decimal(10,2)? Anybody? Anybody? Har har har! Good joke Jim...
