How do I determine the maximum and minimum value for an Oracle NUMBER column?

Is there a simple formula for determining the maximum and minimum values for an Oracle NUMBER column with (p, s)?

From stackoverflow

• I'm not sure, it is something like:

  from - 10 ** (p - s) to 10 ** (p - s)

  p is number of significant decimal digits, and s is number of digits after period. So

  NUMBER(6, 2)

  can store values from -9999.99 to +9999.99.
