Interface Numeric

All Superinterfaces:

ParametrizableDataType, SQLDataType, org.atp.api.Typeable<SQLDataType>

public interface Numeric
extends SQLDataType, ParametrizableDataType

This class represents the NUMERIC type. The site http://intelligent-enterprise.informationweek.com/000626/celko.jhtml explains difference between NUMERIC and DECIMAL:

The difference between DECIMAL(s,p) and NUMERIC(s,p) is subtle in the SQL-92 Standard -- DECIMAL(s,p) must be exactly as precise as declared, while NUMERIC(s,p) must be at least as precise as declared.
