Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: NUMBER datatype
Hi Ravindra,
The largest value the can be stored in an Oracle NUMBER column is
9.999999999999999999999999999999999999999e+125. If you use greater precision(and thus larger values) in INSERT and UPDATE statements they will either round down (silently) to this value or return an ORA-01426 (numeric overflow) error.
