RE: JDBC Driver42.2.2 throws error when dealing with money datatype - Mailing list pgsql-bugs

Hi Thomas,

I too had seen the discussion on the JDBC mailing list but wanted to confirm if it was fixed. 
Thanks for the clarification :)

Regards,
Kriti

This has been discussed on the JDBC mailing list before (and belongs there) and as far as I can tell has never worked
properly:

Isn't this caused by the fact that the server sends a "formatted" string including the currency symbol, decimal symbol
andgrouping symbols? 
 
But Double.parseDouble(String) can't parse such a String 

And I do agree with the recommendations in some of the above threads: do not use the money data type. 
For all intents and purposes numeric is a much better choice. 

Thomas
