Hi,

We have created our table column with datatype NUMBER (where it should be NUMBER(38,0))
Now ODBC is treating NUMBER as double precision instead of integer which is breaking our code.
Does there any way to convert NUMBER to number(38)..without export/import utility???????
Alter table is not working as it it giving error table column should be empty.
Tables have more than 10 million rows.

Thanks
