Hi, ALL,
One more question if I may.

'leagues' AND ordinal_position = 8;

[/code]

In this query result field 'numeric_precision' is set to 32 and
'numeric_precision_radix' is set to 2.

According to the documentation 'numeric_precision_radix' field should
indicate what radix the value of 'numeric_precision' is stored.

However, even though the radix is 2, the actual value is 32, which is
not a radix 2.

Could someone please shed some light?

Thank you.
