Returns the scale of the column with field index.
For FLOAT columns, precision is nonzero and scale is -127.
If precision is 0, then column is NUMBER. Else it's
NUMBER(precision, scale).
Parameters
- statement
A valid OCI statement identifier.
- field
Can be the field's index (1-based) or name.
Return Values
Returns the scale as an integer, or FALSE
on errors.
Notes
Note:
In PHP versions before 5.0.0 you must use ocicolumnscale() instead.
This name still can be used, it was left as alias of
oci_field_scale() for downwards compatability.
This, however, is deprecated and not recommended.
