Hi Carlos. We had to convert a Paradox (dBase3) data to our Firebird/IBX
database.
We had problems because the old data was using something like numeric(10,2)
to currency and our database use (16,6). This generated a lot of rounding
problems. So we had to import the data using cast(old_field as
numeric(16,2)). This worked for us.
