DecimalField with no precision doesn't work on SQLite

[Matt Cooper]

Django 6.1 introduced DecimalFields without precision specifiers. SQLite is called out as a platform where this mode is supported, but objects stored with precision-less DecimalFields can't be retrieved from the database.

# models.py
from django.db import models

class DecimalWithPrecision(models.Model):
    value = models.DecimalField(max_digits=4, decimal_places=2)

class DecimalWithoutPrecision(models.Model):
    value = models.DecimalField()
