Hi,

At the moment we get a lot of (arithmetic) overflow exception. I think it is related to the fact that in the DB all decimals are declared as 'decimal(38, 19)'.

Others have reported these exceptions here:

http://support.x-tensive.com/question/2989/decimal-overflow
http://support.x-tensive.com/question/4944/decimal-overflowexception
http://support.x-tensive.com/question/5553/systemoverflowexception-conversion-overflows

I've tried using the [Field(Scale = 2)] to solve this but after a build with 'Perform' no warnings/errors came and the DB was not adjusted.

Two things:
1. Is this a bug in DO?
2. Can I safely change the 'scale' in the DB for the fields that have the above mentioned attribute (Scale = 2)?

Regards Paul

Just discovered that manually changing the decimal to decimal(38,2) in the DB is reverted on the next build with 'PerformSafely' to decimal (38, 19). I then have my old problem back again (arithmetic overflow exception)

One Answer:

Hello Paul,

setting just Scale will not have any effect. You should specify both Scale and Precision in the [Field] attribute.

Problems with decimal overflow when reading values from the database should be solved since DataObjects.Net 4.6.4. If you still experience those please provide additional information.
