Perhaps:
Export, truncate table, alter table, import or
Create <temp_table> as select * from <orig_table>, truncate table <orig_table>,
alter table<orig_table>,
insert from <temp_table>,
drop <temp_table>

Hi,

i have a column set to number(3). However this needs to be changed to number (3,2). But i cannot do a straight alter table as there is data in the column.

how can i get round this?

cheers
