Comment 23 for bug 986880

On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today, I could reproduce this.

After a gdb session, it seems the problem is here:
    224 if ( _pType->aCreateParams.isEmpty() )
    225 {
    226 SetPrecision(_pType->nPrecision);
    227 SetScale(_pType->nMinimumScale);
    228 }

Indeed, the types which have the problem have _pType->aCreateParams not empty and so don't enter the if block.

NUMBER => "PRECISION,SCALE"
VARCHAR => "LENGTH"
etc.

Lionel: What's the purpose of this if block? Could it be removed?
