The SQL DECIMAL data type is part of the SQL standard and is implemented in several different vendors. It’s a handy data type for storing numbers with decimal places.
This is not required and will default to 10,2, where 2 is the number of decimals and 10 is the total number of digits (including decimals). Decimal precision can go to 24 places for a FLOAT. DOUBLE(M,D) A double precision floating-point number that cannot be unsigned. You can ...
Using whole numbers (by rounding decimal numbers) definitely makes one’s job easier but it often leads to inaccurate outputs, especially when we are dealing with a large number of values and crucial data. In such scenarios, it is ideal to use Sql Decimal data type in SQL Server to ...
decimal(p,s)Fixed precision and scale numbers. Allows numbers from -10^38 +1 to 10^38 –1. The p parameter indicates the maximum total number of digits that can be stored (both to the left and to the right of the decimal point). p must be a value from 1 to 38. Default is 18...

decimal[ (p[ ,s] )] and numeric[ (p[ ,s] )] Fixed precision and scale numbers. When maximum precision is used, valid values are from - 10^38 +1 through 10^38 - 1. The ISO synonyms for decimal are dec and dec(p, s). numeric is functionally identical to decimal....
