Tom Lane 7e01c8ef3a Remove bogus dependencies on NUMERIC_MAX_PRECISION. ... NUMERIC_MAX_PRECISION is a purely arbitrary constraint on the precision and scale you can write in a numeric typmod. It might once have had something to do with the allowed range of a typmod-less numeric value, but at least since 9.1 we've allowed, and documented that we allowed, any value that would physically fit in the numeric storage format; which is something over 100000 decimal digits, not 1000. Hence, get rid of numeric_in()'s use of NUMERIC_MAX_PRECISION as a limit on the allowed range of the exponent in scientific-format input. That was especially silly in view of the fact that you can enter larger numbers as long as you don't use 'e' to do it. Just constrain the value enough to avoid localized overflow, and let make_result be the final arbiter of what is too large. Likewise adjust ecpg's equivalent of this code. Also get rid of numeric_recv()'s use of NUMERIC_MAX_PRECISION to limit the number of base-NBASE digits it would accept. That created a dump/restore hazard for binary COPY without doing anything useful; the wire-format limit on number of digits (65535) is about as tight as we would want. In HEAD, also get rid of pg_size_bytes()'s unnecessary intimacy with what the numeric range limit is. That code doesn't exist in the back branches. Per gripe from Aravind Kumar. Back-patch to all supported branches, since they all contain the documentation claim about allowed range of NUMERIC (cf commit cabf5d84b). Discussion: <2895.1471195721@sss.pgh.pa.us>		10 years ago
