It was in the post, it's 7.4.12 (just upgraded it to 7.4.13, as it was
my workstation) It's the version we're stuck on for a while here work.
10^14 is just another way of saying precision 12, or somewhat close to
it.
My point being that a two+ year old version of PostgreSQL is still
superior to the latest release version of MySQL...
