Issues on Decimal Type

Dear All,

The SQL server supports 38-digit deciaml numbers. Is there any known issues, error reported or penalties if all 38 digit places are declared in DECIMAL type columns?

My server version is 2005.

Thanks for all...

All know issues supposed to be fixed. Considering the size, don't use 38 digit wide types unless you have to. Look at bigint datatype, which takes only 8 storage bytes instead of 17 for decimal(38,0)|||

Thanks for your reply.

If I really have to use 38-digit decimal, e.g. decimal(29,9) or decimal(10, 18), will it be any known potential problem?
