:: Precision ranges from 0 to 18. Actually, a NUMERIC(15,2)

:: Its scale is stored separately.

As long as its fixed - Im happy. As I said all calcs are done externally and
rouned to 2 points before returning when necessary.

We are handling GBP, EUR, AUD, USD and others, but they all have similar
magnitude.

Its .net, we are using the decimal type but always dropping off at 2 digits.
Im not aware of BCD options native to .NET.
