我一直在阅读oracle DB的初学者指南.精度和规模的定义非常混乱.
书说:
number(6,3)
Oracle allows for 2 not 6 significant digitalis.
我的问题是,6意味着精确.这意味着有效位数.所以它应该接受6位有效数字.为什么这本书说这是2位有效数字
我所指的那本书是Oracle Database 11g A Beginner’s Guide by McGraw Hill Professional,Dec 18,2008,第12页

p is the precision,or the maximum number of significant decimal digits,where the most significant digit is the left-most nonzero digit,and the least significant digit is the right-most known digit. Oracle guarantees the portability of numbers with precision of up to 20 base-100 digits,which is equivalent to 39 or 40 decimal digits depending on the position of the decimal point.
s is the scale,or the number of digits from the decimal point to the least significant digit. The scale can range from -84 to 127.
Positive scale is the number of significant digits to the right of the decimal point to and including the least significant digit.
Negative scale is the number of significant digits to the left of the decimal point,to but not including the least significant digit. For negative scale the least significant digit is on the left side of the decimal point,because the actual data is rounded to the specified number of places to the left of the decimal point. For example,a specification of (10,-2) means to round to hundreds.
