Description
I tried using blaze on a mysql database and got:
```
No SQL-datashape match for type DECIMAL(18, 5)
...
No SQL-datashape match for type DECIMAL(11, 5)
```
I'm using mysqldb, if that matters. It seems that there was some discussion [in the forums](https://groups.google.com/a/continuum.io/forum/#!searchin/blaze-dev/decimal/blaze-dev/2B5aWGKm-xU/ep46UCcqDekJ) and ContinuumIO/datashape#118.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported failure with MySQL DECIMAL(18, 5) and DECIMAL(11, 5) through mysqldb, then trace the SQL-datashape matching path named in the error. Done means these decimal types are accepted without the reported “No SQL-datashape match” error.
