Yeah, that's what you'd get for a numeric field with no length
constraint. (I suspect varchar with no length constraint will
display funny as well.)
The SQL spec doesn't allow unconstrained lengths for these types
so it gives no guidance about what to display in the information_schema
views. Any opinions?
