Hi,
i have a table like
table1(col1 number)

I have issued : insert into table1 values(123.50);

But when i say select * from table1; it returns me
col1
----
123.5

How do i save the data in the column as it is like 123.50

hi,

you can not change the way oracle stores number.so if u want to see trailing zeros, then use

select to_char(col_name,'999.90') from your_table
/

another way..

SQL>set numformat 99999.99

SQL> create table tab1(n number);

Table created.

SQL> insert into tab1 values(123.50);

1 row created.

SQL> select * from tab1;

N
---------
123.50
