Problem description
In our Database Table, we have a column of type Decimal(38,20). When saving the value 500, the record in the table is correct, however the data that is returned by is 499.99999999999994

When investigating, I have come across this Issue (#678), which was raised 7 years ago. However, there seems to be no progress in addressing the issue, our team relays in the column being of type decimal, but the value returned by tedious is incorrect, which are causing issues in the program.

Requesting a quick fix on this issue or a temporary workaround to fix the decimal precision issue. One way is to change the column type to varchar, which is not a solution we prefer.

Expected behavior
Value returned should be exactly 500

Actual behavior
Value returned should be exactly 499.99999999999994

Any other details that can be helpful
According to my analysis

tedious/src/value-parser.ts

Line 442 in ebb023e

return new Result((value * sign) / Math.pow(10, scale), offset);

This line seems to be causing the precision issue, but haven't deep-dived to check what is actual issue is.
