517517 We use the following terms below: The
518- <firstterm>scale</firstterm> of a <type>numeric</type> is the
519- count of decimal digits in the fractional part, to the right of
520- the decimal point. The <firstterm>precision</firstterm> of a
521- <type>numeric</type> is the total count of significant digits in
522- the whole number, that is, the number of digits to both sides of
523- the decimal point. So the number 23.5141 has a precision of 6
524- and a scale of 4. Integers can be considered to have a scale of
525- zero.
