Unlike oracle, access does not support the decimal data type.

a. true

b. false

True

Explanation:

Although decimal data can be used with microsoft access, it causes several issues that make it almost impossible to work with. When you enter a decimal value in any column, the value will be round up or down to the nearest integral number.

Another known issue, and even acknowledged by microsoft itself, is that you also get an incorrect order value, placing negative numbers before positives, when sorting negative decimals with access.
