DECIMAL INTEGER (BigInteger)

Supported by ✅ Open Source Edition   ✅ Express Edition   ✅ Professional Edition   ✅ Enterprise Edition

The DECIMAL_INTEGER data type represents a zero-scale decimal number, or java.math.BigInteger in Java. It has no representation in JDBC.

Given the variable precision characteristic, the DECIMAL_INTEGER type should usually be accompanied by an explicit precision flag. If absent, the default behaviour is dialect specific.
