+Applications performing update/insert data of the BigDecimal java type may fail 
+with OptimisticException if the data exceeds the scale or precision of the
+column on Sybase. To avoid this problem, applications can specify the precision
+and scale for the numeric type by setting numericTypeName='NUMERIC(p,s)' for
+the column type mapped by the BigDecimal java type. See
+<link linkend="openjpa.jdbc.DBDictionary">openjpa.jdbc.DBDictionary</link> for
+more detail. Alternatively, application can set the precision and scale using
+the standard <classname>Column</classname> annotation, described in
+<xref linkend="jpa_overview_mapping_column"/>.
