		NeoTar on Sept 21, 2023 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Grouping digits in SQL I imagine there are cases where you want a large number not expressible in base-10 exponential notation. The obvious examples are the upper limits of integers - 2_147_483_647 and 4_294_967_295.

Usually you'd want to express those as 0x7fff_ffff or 0xffff_ffff.
