you are right - I misunderstood your posting.
If Java cannot handle Numerics properly, you are right using integer.

Most people use Delphi or C++ Builder in combination with
Interbase/Firebird - and these language support Numeric.
So then you are better off using Numeric instead of Integer.

Sorry for the confusion.
