I have created a column gpa for a table students.
SID NOT NULL
VARCHAR2(4)
SNAME NOT NULL
VARCHAR2(20)
GPA NOT NULL NUMBER
BIRTHDATE NOT NULL
VARCHAR2(15)
MAJOR
VARCHAR2(5)
GENDER
VARCHAR2(6)
When I query the table, it rounds the gpa up. like this:
SID SNAME GPA BIRTHDATE MAJOR GENDER
---- -------------------- ---------- --------------- ----- ------
S01 GINNY FLeck 3.5 01-JAN-79 ACC FEMALE
S02 Arby Bee 1 09-OCT-45 PED MALE
S03 B. V. DEEs 2.9 15-MAR-60 CSS MALE
S04 Sid E. Slicker 3.7 25-DEC-70 CSS MALE
S05 June Bride 4 22-OCT-69 CSS FEMALE
S06 Wilma Flinstone 2 11-NOV-68 ACC FEMALE
S07 DOUG OUT 3.3 22-JUN-71 HIS MALE
S08 Wanda Full 4 04-JUL-71 CSS FEMALE
I need to know how to alter the column so that the format is #.##...
For example, I would like Arby Bee's GPA to be 1.00 (2 decimal places
to the right). B.V.Dee's GPA should be 2.88(which is what I entered it
as) instead of 2.9. Could someone please tell me how I can alter the
table so that I get two decimal places and no rounding without having
to put the format in the select statement?
Thanks,
