Works here.  Don't you hate when that happens:test=> create table n1 (n numeric(10,5), d decimal(10,5));CREATEtest=>
insertinto n1 values ('1.23456', '1.23456');INSERT 18602 1test=> insert into n1 values ('12345.23456',
'1.23456');INSERT18603 1test=> select * from n1;          n|      d-----------+-------
1.23456|1.2345612345.23456|1.23456(2rows)
