Subj:   Re: Alter Decimal(9.0) to Decimal(9,4)
 
From:   Fred Pluebell



You can't use ALTER TABLE to change the scale of a DECIMAL column.

Space occupied depends on the precision, so if you copied the data to a new table with the revised column definition then the rows would occupy the same number of bytes.
