Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> oracle generated numbers are being store in scientific notation.
OUR DBA created a column that is defined as number(20)that
automatically generates the numbers for this column. Some of the
numbers are being stored in scientific notation. What does this mean?
We need to define this column as another type? It seems like it has
reached the limits that oracle will allow. Any info will help because
I'm not a database person I just want to make sure this will not cause
us any problems. I know it's using the auto generate feature in Oracle.
