Hi, I am writing an oracle application using OCI 7. I am using odescr to get
the description of the select list items. The problem I have is that oracle
returns the internal data type of NUMBER, whether the column is defined as
integer, float or double precision. How can I find out if a particular
NUMBER is an integer or a float? I tried to use the scale information, but
looks like scale is not applicable for integer, real, double precision etc.
thanks.
