Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> space taken up by number data types
I could have swarn I read that Precision with number data types effects how much space is reserved in the database. So number(38) and number(3) reserve different amounts of space.
Here is a link from Tom Kyte in 1998 saying the opposite. Is what he says still true?
