Hi,



Is there a minimum bytes of storage that oracle would use for each data
type irrespective of the data within.  For example, I have a NUMBER(3)
column.  The DATA_LENGTH and DATA_PRECISION in the USER_TAB_COLUMNS
show 22 and 3 respectively.  Which one should I use for calculating
row lengths.  Thanks.
