hi,
What is the difference between these two data types?
I have read like, we have these two for backward compatibility. What does it means? These two are available since sql server 6.5, Then what is the backward compatibility here?

No difference. One is synonym for the other, cant remember which one.

In SQL Server, there is no difference.
I guess the backward compatability would be that you can still use "numeric" rather than the offical "decimal".
