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.
