I have tried to store 10.02 in the NUMERIC(15,2) field (dialect 3) and
it works as expected. Note, that if you obtain value as float or double,
the number of decimal places might be different. The only way to ensure
that the code works correctly is using BigDecimal values. In my case
Jaybird returns a value 1002 with scale 2, which is exactly what I would
expect from it.

If you still believe this is a bug, please prepare a test case to
reproduce the issue.
