The following documentation comment has been logged on the website: Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/datatype-numeric.html Description: This is not a correction, but a clarification. In the paragraph describing the Numeric type, https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/datatype-numeric.html#DATATYPE-NUMERIC-DECIMAL the description of the arguments is reversed from the order of the arguments, i.e. scale before numeric, while the argument is numeric before scale. My suggestion is to change the following paragraph: > We use the following terms below: The scale of a numeric is the count of decimal digits in the fractional part, to the right of the decimal point. The precision of a numeric is the total count of significant digits in the whole number, that is, the number of digits to both sides of the decimal point. So the number 23.5141 has a precision of 6 and a scale of 4. Integers can be considered to have a scale of zero. to: > We use the following terms below: The precision of a numeric is the total count of significant digits in the whole number, that is, the number of digits to both sides of the decimal point. The scale of a numeric is the count of decimal digits in the fractional part, to the right of the decimal point. So the number 23.5141 has a precision of 6 and a scale of 4. Integers can be considered to have a scale of zero. That way the order in the paragraph (precision, scale), matches the argument order `NUMERIC(precision, scale)`
