Increase limits of decimal column type in CDS

Submitted by 4 weeks ago

The decimal field type only lets you use values between -100 million and 100 million.

 

This is way too small for the data we want to import - any financial reporting solution will find this limit difficult to work work.

 

Please increase the size of this column type to be in the 10s or even 100 billions range.

I think also here is not only to increase the amount that handled, but to what level of precision. Storing $903,392,340.39435834838 is not supported. Currency truncates after 4 decimals, and while that works for some cases, those decimals are important in aggregations at financial institutions where millions of decimal transactions are at stake.

I shouldn't have to resort to storing as text or splitting amongst 2 separate columns to store the integer and decimal portions...
