Hello guys! I´m using Ruby On Rails with Sql Server DataBase. I have a  
decimal field in a table that looks like this:  
Length:5 Precision:8 Scale:2  
But, in the browser view the field appears truncated. The number 0.70  
is truncated to 0.0. How can I resolve this?  
Thanks!

Connecting via ODBC the numbers are showed correctly!  
Do I need the DBI module to connect via odbc to SQL Server Data Base?
