I checked the standard and for standard operations on NUMERIC, the
precision of the result is implementation defined, while the scale
depends on the operation:
+ - S_r = max (S_1, S_2)
* S_r = S_1 + S_2
/ S_r = implementation defined
where S_r = scale of the result, and S_1 = scale of the first operand
and S_2 = scale of the second operand.
Rich.
