It's a pure display issue. You see in one place NUMERIC (fields tab) and in
the other, DECIMAL (source tab). IB_SQL and IBO in general do nothing to
distinguish between the two types because the engine itself *currently*
doesn't apply different checks to them. Hence, for now, assuming all
numerics are decimals or vice-versa doens't have a practical effect.
