need magic formula for euro conversion

Hello,

Does anyone out there in Euroland have the magic formula that will let
me convert a decimal(12,2) column to another decimal(12,2) column with
automatic rounding up or down to comply with the EURO conversion rules?

TIA

Cheers

Tony Grant

Tony,

SELECT e, (e * 13.7603::decimal(12,4))::decimal(12,2) AS ats
FROM eur;
  e   |  ats
------+-------
 1.00 | 13.76
 0.10 |  1.38

This might solve part of your problem.  Hope you get the direction.
