See formatting functions in docs:
test=# SELECT TO_CHAR( 123456.123456, '999999.99')::float8;?column?
-----------123456.12
(1 row)
Note, really float4 with 8 places (6,2)?
test=# select '123456.12'::float4;?column?
---------- 123456
(1 row)
test=# select '1234.12'::float4;?column?
---------- 1234.12
(1 row)
test=# select '123456.12'::float8;?column?
-----------123456.12
(1 row)
