This is in the right direction. I have already tried to use precision and
scale. You cannot use precision and scale in a SQL statement.

---- Copy of message ------

Good catch - and that leads me to a simplified but perhaps not so

intuitive version -



10**(precision - scale) - 1/(10**scale)



Added a couple parentheses, I think operator hierarchy would take care

of things (exponentiation is always first) but who needs what happens

when you assume?



Actually I kinda like this version better - it's not intuitively obvious

why you subtract 1 in the earlier version, perhaps.
