NUMBER Class
The NUMBER class provides converisons between the Oracle Number (lnxnum_t) data type and Java types byte[], byte, short, integer, long, float, double, String, BigInteger. and BigDecimal.

The internal data for this object is stored as a byte array in the super class' storage area.

Static methods are used for conversions.

The LNX length included format is not supported. The byte array passed to or returned by any method is assumed to have the proper length accessible by the byte[].length instance variable.

public NUMBER(BigDecimal BigDecNum)
       throws SQLException
```
    Constructs a NUMBER object initialized to the specified BigDecimal value. Throws a SQLException on over/underflow of the exponent and/or mantissa.
    Since there doesn't seem to be a way to represent +-inf using a BigDecimal this condition isn't considered.
    
    Notes:
    
    This method may not preserve the scaling of the BigDecimal, since scaling information is not part of an Oracle number.
    
    A BigDecimal distinguishes between 0 and -0. This method will not preserve the signedness of zero.
    
    At present, this method does not round. If the BigDecimal has more digits than will fit into the mantissa of an Oracle number, an exception is thrown.
    Parameters:
    
    BigDecNum - The BigDecimal used to initialize NUMBER.
    
    Throws:
