Description: ------------ ATM, the XML schema doesn't support a <scale> tag within a field definition for DECIMAL data types, so the only way to set the scale is the MDB2 'decimal_places' option, but that's a per-connection setting, and not a per-field one as it should be. It would be handy to embed the scale information within the <length> tag as: <field> <name>decimalfield</name> <type>decimal</type> <length>10,4</length> <notnull>false</notnull> </field> which should be translated to DECIMAL(10,4). A patch is attached.

Hi Lorenzo, thank you for the patch. Tough, to get the bug 100% fixed we need to correctly reverse engineer fields with decimal types. To achieve this the method mapNativeDatatype() of DataType Drivers should return $decimal as well, so MDB2_Schema can have access to that attribute. Filling a new bug report.

This bug has been fixed in CVS. If this was a documentation problem, the fix will appear on pear.php.net by the end of next Sunday (CET). If this was a problem with the pear.php.net website, the change should be live shortly. Otherwise, the fix will appear in the package's next release. Thank you for the report and for helping us make PEAR better.
