Uhm 10^14? What version of Postgres is that?! Though I get a correct text with 8.2CVS: postgres=> insert into test values (123123123123123.2); ERROR: numeric field overflow DETAIL: A field with precision 12, scale 2 must have an absolute value less than 10^10. I guess Tom fixed some bugs when he reimplemented NUMERIC a while back. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com
