Hello folks,
I have a servlet in a Java web app that accesses an oracle table with
a column that is NUMBER(12)
When I put an integer into it of 10 digits or larger I get a numeric
overflow error. I am using the getInt method and putting that into a
java int variable. Do either of these have a max length and if so what
should I be using for large number??

thanks in advance,
DM
