Thread: Monetary, Float Types
I am trying to add prices together using either the monetary type or float4 type. Monetary doesn't seem to add, and float4 renders results out to 7 decimal places. Also, float4 doesn't display prices with .00 cents. Which data type should I use to solve this problem?
Thus spake Rob Cleveland

darcy=> select '12.34'::money + '43.21'::money;
?column?
--------
$55.55
(1 row)
Can you show an example that doesn't work?
