+## Decimal Datatype
+
+The [`Buffer::column_dec`](Buffer::column_dec) method supports efficient ingestion of decimals using several convenient types:
+
+- floating point representation with `&str`
+- decimals from the [`bigdecimal`](https://docs.rs/bigdecimal) crate
+- decimals from the [`rust_decimal`](https://docs.rs/rust_decimal) crate
+
+You must use protocol version 3 to ingest decimals. The HTTP transport will
+automatically enable it as long as you're connecting to an up-to-date QuestDB
+server (version 9.2.0 or later), but with TCP you must explicitly specify it in
+the configuration string: `protocol_version=3;`.
+
+**Note**: QuestDB server version 9.2.0 or later is required for decimal support.

 ## Timestamp Column Name
