-- The following tests were initially generated from the query shown

-- "scale" values (datetime2, datetimeoffset, float, and time) were
-- copied and pasted to create additional tests. No additional tests
-- were created for the decimal datatype as it was already documented
-- as having user-provided precision and scale.
