[development] Bug in _db_create_field_sql?

[Richard Morse]

Hi! I've discovered a possible bug in _db_create_field_sql for MySQL,  
but I'm not positive, and I can't believe this hasn't come up before,  
but I can't find any bug reports, so I'm wondering if there's  
something I'm missing.

According to the MySQL docs, a numeric column specification is NUMERIC 
(precision, scale) [at least, I think that's what they want -- they  
talk about precision and scale in the data type reference, but refer  
to length and decimals in the CREATE TABLE syntax]. However, in  
_db_create_field_sql for MySQL, according to api.drupal.org, the  
order used is scale, precision.

Is there something I'm missing? Is there already a bug report for  
this, and if so where (and how did you find it)? I couldn't find  
anything about this using either Google or Drupal search...
