Hi... I am developing my Oracle database on Oracle 8i... in my database I have various columns that are defined as NUMBER(38)... in some instances, the largest number to be stored in these columns is 255, so three digits max... if I am only storing 3 digits in a column defined as NUMBER(38), is there a lot of wasted storage?? Or does Oracle only provide storage space for the data and not the column?
cheers, Kenny
