Hi, We are in the process of bringing our data over from Oracle to SQL so now some of the conversions are coming out differently. I need to make them the same in SQL as they were intended in Oracle. One such conversion I have is
Oracle
Datatype Length Precision Scale
number 22
SQL
Datatype Length Precision Scale
numeric 17 38 0
I understand how it got 38 and 0 but I don't understand how it got the length of 17. Also, how would I change it (on the SQL side) to match that of Oracle? If anyone could point me in the right direction. Thanks!

Reason: <censored by LF> ... and my question is in the right forum.
The truth is: people here speak Oracle, not MS SQL Server. Your questions are related to MS SQL Server:giszzmo

That's why you should ask people who use MS SQL Server. We don't know the answer as we don't use that RDBMS.
However, someone might be experienced in both database systems and will be able to assist. I'm not one of them, neither is BlackSwan. I can't even remember that any of regular members is (and I'm visiting this forum for ages). So, be patient ... hopefully, someone will assist. Or, ask the question on one of MS SQL Server forums. I believe your chances are far better there than here.
