Re: [HACKERS] Numeric type

postgres=> create table n1 (n numeric(10,5), d decimal(10,5));
CREATE
postgres=> insert into n1 values ('1.23456', '1.23456');
ERROR:  overflow on numeric       ABS(value) >= 10^0 for field with precision 2086 scale 53380

*sigh* 

Any hints on where to look? I did a CVSup update, then a "cvs -PdA" on
my development tree, a "make clean install" and an initdb. I did not try
a full clean checkout, but would think that it wouldn't help.

Anyone else running on Linux/i686/libc5 having success? If so, I'll go
back to working on outer joins...
