Shouldn't this be 31? Or is there some meaning to the 255 after the 31 that I don't understand? If there is a meaning to the 255 I think it needs to be explained better what it is. Also, to be consistent with the case of the other Numeric datatypes I think it should be 'Largest DECIMAL precision' instead of the existing 'Largest decimal precision'. Thanks, Susan
