did you know ( I didn’t ) that you can provide a star (*) when defining a number column ?

SQL> create table t1 ( a number(*), b number(*,10) );
Table created.
SQL> desc t1;
 Name	     Null?    Type
 ----------- -------- ----------------------------
 A                    NUMBER
 B                    NUMBER(38,10)
