Re: numeric type

OK, I hear ya. How about allowing user to set the default precision and

world but should be doable.

You could add URL parameters like unspecifiedNumericPrecision=1000 and unspecificedNumericScale=500, but the tradeoff is how much work is it to add these options to the URL parsing code and then pass them around, add it to the datasource implementation, add it to the documentation, and ...

If there was some big important app that everyone wanted to use that blew up on this I'd bet we'd do it, but I haven't heard a whole lot of complaints about this problem.

Is this an important issue for other people?
