I'm trying to get details from a user's schema, but I want the datatype (if it's NUMBER for example) to return in the format NUMBER(4,2) or if the precision is 0, in the format NUMBER(4).
I attempted to do this through a DECODE such as this:

'NUMBER', DECODE (data_precision, NULL, 'NUMBER',
NUMBER(' || TO_CHAR(data_precision) || ',' || DECODE (TO_CHAR(data_scale), '0', '')

But I don't know what to put after that to show the precision should it not be 0.

Any ideas/suggestions will be most welcome
