NUMBER



Note: Noticed in oracle:

NUMBER ( 5, 2 ) is a floating type number which allows a column to have a 5digit number with two decimal places. That is, only 3 non-decimal places are allowed. eg: 300.02

I had some errors arising because I entered less digits in the decimal places or too many overall. Just a note.
