[jira] Commented: (DERBY-584) Mismatch between DatabaseMetaData and ResultSetMetaData for NUMERIC type

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-584?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13002278#comment-13002278 ] 

Rick Hillegas commented on DERBY-584:
-------------------------------------

As a first cut at testing a fix for this issue, try running DatabaseMetaDataTest and the compatibility tests. When those run cleanly, you should try the full regression test suite.

> The Derby Reference Manual says that NUMERIC is a synonyn for DECIMAL. If you create a NUMERIC column, the Derby client DatabaseMetaData reports that the type is java.sql.NUMERIC. However, if you select from the table, the ResultSetMetaData reports that the type is java.sql.DECIMAL.
> I don't really care what type we report. I just think we should be consistent.
