[jira] Created: (DERBY-853) ResultSetMetaData.getScale returns inconsistent values for DOUBLE type.

ResultSetMetaData.getScale returns inconsistent values for DOUBLE type.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: DERBY-853
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-853
     Project: Derby
        Type: Bug
  Components: JDBC, Newcomer  
    Versions: 10.2.0.0    
    Reporter: Daniel John Debrunner
    Priority: Trivial


If a DOUBLE column is returned in the result set then getScale() returns 0.
If a DOUBLE expression is returned and the expression is the result of a DOUBLE combined with a DECIMAL then it seems the scale from the decimal sometimes affects the result set metadata.

E.g. DECIMAL(10,2) - DOUBLE returns a DOUBLE with getScale() returning 2.

See the test output for jdbcapi/metadata.java

double -- precision: 15 scale: 0 display size: 22 type name: DOUBLE
double precision - dec(10,2) -- precision: 15 scale: 0 display size: 22 type name: DOUBLE
dec(10,2) - double precision -- precision: 15 scale: 2 display size: 22 type name: DOUBLE

First line is a DOUBLE column, second is DOUBLE - DECIMAL, third is DECIMAL - DOUBLE

I assume the scale  should always be zero for a DOUBLE, as it holds no meaning, but I can't see any proof of that in JDBC spec, javadoc or tutorial book.
