I think the answer is yes.

Fox has a NUMERIC datatype. But NUMERIC is not a true datatype in most SQL databases (including Oracle and SQL Server). But I'm almost sure it is a legal alias in most databases commonly available.

So Numeric(18,6) should be an allowable column; and your remote view shouldn't know the difference.

If I want to have the equivalent of 18 digits and 6 decimal points in remote view, what data type is best for Sql server? If numeric is chosen, would the same remote view be able to access the number data type in Oracle?
