We've run into a problem with Pro*C against an Oracle 7 database. Pro*C loses precision on the 18th digit of a number after a database access.

I am fairly certain that I've read in this newsgroup about this problem only happening against an Oracle 7 database and not against an oracle 6 database. I am interested in obtaining any specific information about this problem that anyone reading this newsgroup may have accumulated.

If you can provide information about this problem, we would be very grateful. Currently, this loss of precision is not a problem for us, but an upcoming project will need to use the 18th position in the digit. Response by mail will be acknowledged.

Thanks very much,

Jonathan Ingram
