Subject: [firebird-support] Triilions of Zim Dollars


Hi All,

We have customers in Zimbabwe whose cost prices are now reaching the
trillions (and growing rapidly).

The government is refusing to devalue the currency again.

I am using decimal(18,5) to store the monetary values for our accounting
system. (In hind-sight decimal(18,2) would have given us a little more
lee-way)

I was wondering, are there any plans in the pipeline to increase the
maximum size allowed for the decimal data type? Or am I being doff (ie.
'silly' for non-South Africans) and there is another data type I can use
already..?

I've been googling around and it looks like MS SQL has a decimal(38)!

Thanks

Maya
