Re: Multi-Currency in RDBMS: Integer, Decimal, Float.

Jonathan, the documet to which I refered can be found at the link you provided, particularly:
http://ww2.hursley.ibm.com/decimal/decifaq1.html. When you say floating point decimal what do you mean? I was under the impression that the decimal type and float type are different? 1/10 = .10 in decimal world, 1/10 = .099999 in float point world, I could be wrong but I believe this is how things work within both Oracle and MSSQL. Floating point is an approximation and decimal is exact. I really appreciate your taking the time to answer my post, what you have provided has been a huge help with regards to resources.
