Hi,
I am trying to insert a value 1234567.89 into a column of datatype NUMBER(9,3). It's failing with an error that the value is larger than expected. Could you please let me know, why?
Thanks in advance,
Kishore

if u specify number(9,3) as column datatype, oracle allows 6 digit number and 3 digits right to decimal point.

you can insert 123456.789, not 1234567.89
