[Koha] A quick question on biblioitems.dewey field's datatype

[Indranil Das Gupta]

Hi,

Why is the biblioitems.dewey field set to double(8,6) and not to, say
varchar(15) or something like that?

After all in the MARC subfield table the dewey gets stored in a
varchar(255) field. Any pointers/clues on this?
