  • Change NUMERIC to enforce the maximum precision -
  • Add NUMERIC division operator that doesn't round? -

    Currently NUMERIC rounds the result to the specified precision. - This means division can return a result that multiplied by the - divisor is greater than the dividend, e.g. this returns a value > 10: -

    • -

    SELECT (10::numeric(2,0) / 6::numeric(2,0))::numeric(2,0) * 6; -

    -

    The positive modulus result returned by NUMERICs might be considered
    - inaccurate, in one sense. -
