Hmm, not particularly comprehensive tests it seems...

I have a table with column type NUMBER(14), and when I read it using
ruby-oci8, any *trailing* zeros are removed: for example the value "100" is
read as "1" !!

I'll have a look at this myself, because I really want to use Ruby for this
particular project, but it doesn't inspire a great deal of confidence...

Cheers,

Brian.
