title: What is a good mapping of .NET decimal to SQL Server decimal?
body: <p>I am having to interface some C# code with SQL Server and I want to have exactly as much precision when storing a value in the database as I do with my C# code. I use one of .NET's <code>decimal</code> type for a value.  What datatype/precision would I use for this value in SQL Server? </p>
  
  <p>I am aware that the SQL Server <code>decimal</code> type is the type that most likely fits my needs for this. My question though is what scale and precision do I use so that it matches .NET's <code>decimal</code> type?</p>
