Precision and Scale

CometAug 18 2009 — edited Apr 3 2018

I am creating some application tables with APEX. When i define a column on my table for primary or foreign keys I select the NUMERIC datatype. The form then prompts me for Precision and Scale. What are the recommended values for precisions and scale for key columns? I understand that precision is the total number of digits before and after the radix but what is meant by scale - the number of digits after the radix? I'm a little rusty on these issues as it has been a long time since I used them.

Thanks, Ned
