oci_field_precision

Tell the precision of a field

&reftitle.description; `int` `oci_field_precision` `resource` `statement` `int` `field`

Returns precision of the `field`.

For FLOAT columns, precision is nonzero and scale is -127. If precision is 0, then column is NUMBER. Else it's NUMBER(precision, scale).

&reftitle.parameters;

`statement`

- A valid OCI statement identifier.

`field`

- Can be the field's index (1-based) or name.

&reftitle.returnvalues;

Returns the precision as an integer, or &false; on errors.

&reftitle.notes;

In PHP versions before 5.0.0 you must use `ocicolumnprecision` instead. This name still can be used, it was left as alias of `oci_field_precision` for downwards compatability. This, however, is deprecated and not recommended.
