Problem Note 18165: A MySQL decimal column is incorrectly being seen as a text column with MySQL 5.0 within SAS®
 |  |  |  |  |
Under MySQL 4.1.11, a column of type decimal(8,0) is correctly read by SAS as a number data type. However, under MySQL 5.0.22, the same version of SAS reads the column incorrectly as a text field. As a result, ETL Studio jobs fail when using tables with columns of type decimal(8,0).
