When attempting to upgrade a Sybase DB from 6.2 or below to master, a conversion error is thrown.  This is because of the changes from LPS-91476, where we are trying to convert a DECIMAL type value to VARCHAR.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start a 6.2 instance on Sybase 16
2. Once initial tables have been created and portal is loaded, shutdown.
3. Using the upgrade tool, upgrade to master, specifically after the inclusion of LPS-91476

Expected Results: Upgrade works properly

Actual results: Upgrade fails with the following stacktrace:
