One minor comment is that the ok() here discards an ArowError which has an owned string -- so in othr words, this call is pretty expensive. It might be worth a method that returns a Option rather than Err for testing conversion
The same general rule applies below
One potential solution woudl be to add methods like
struct VariantDecimal8 {
// returns Some if this variant can be represented as Decimal4, None otherwise
fn as_decimal_4(&self) -> Option<VariantDecimal4> { ... }There was a problem hiding this comment.
This is always tricky -- if we go for Option instead, and convert None to Err, then the resulting error message contains little or no information about why the conversion failed. And I don't think we want to duplicate code, to do both?

Yeah, let's go with this for now and we can optimize if it shows up in traces

Which issue does this PR close?
Rationale for this change
The existing
Variant::as_decimal_XXmethods were actually incorrect, failing to validate scale when converting from a wider decimal to a narrower one. Fix it, while also improving ergonomics of the decimal code to reduce the chances of future issues of this type.What changes are included in this PR?
Add proper [Try]From for converting to decimal types from other decimals or their underlying integer type.
Add missing conversions in the
Variant::as_int_xxandVariant::as_decimal_xxhelpers.Are these changes tested?
TODO - need more tests for the new conversions
Are there any user-facing changes?
The
Variant:as_decimal_xxmethods have been renamed and now return actual decimal types.New conversions available.
