public class dbNumber

extends java.lang.Number

Internal network independent numeric object. This internal number format is a 100-based decimal format.

Each RDBMS vendor supports a wide variety of machine and machine independent numeric data types. In order to make life simpler all the VORTEX RDBMS drivers will automatically convert the internal RDBMS numerics to this independent format. When receiving data from a remote RDBMS no byte flipping is needed.

Once retrieved by the client various conversion methods are available.
