Hello,

I insert into table one value, but when select, I get another value. Is it Oracle bug, or am I missing something?

SQL> create table test15(num number(17,2));

Table created


SQL> insert into test15 (num)values(123456789012345.12);

1 row inserted


SQL> commit;

Commit complete


SQL> select * from test15;

                NUM
-------------------
 123456789012345,01

As you see I inserted value with .12 decimal part, but when selecting, I get .01
Why the numbers do not match?

It works for me:

SQL> create table test15(num number(17,2));

Table created.

SQL> insert into test15 (num)values(123456789012345.12);

1 row created.

SQL> commit;

Commit complete.

SQL> set numwidth 20
SQL> select * from test15;
                 NUM
--------------------
  123456789012345.12

1 row selected.

SQL> @v

Oracle version: 12.1.0.2.190716 EE

Please post the result of:

select to_char(num,'999999999999990.00') from test15;

It seems there is some problem with PL/SQL Developer, as using to_char shows correct value for me:

SQL> select num from test15;

                NUM
-------------------
 123456789012345,01

SQL> select to_char(num) from test15;

TO_CHAR(NUM)
----------------------------------------
123456789012345.12

OK, I can live with that, thanks.
