Postgres 8.4

 

How do I use round() in sql on a double8 data type? While in an SQL statement, I can use round just fine on a field that is a type of double. Ex: Select round(esthours,2) as ehrs from job;

 

But a different field has a type of double8 and I get an error when I try to use round on it:

select round(acthours,2) as ahrs from job;

 

The error is: "No function matches the given name and argument types. You might need to add explicit type casts."

 

I searched around on Google but found no help on doing type casts.

 

Thank you.
