Default Asking what datatype should I used?
Hello World!

I am currently working on a field that contains 'Prices'
I declared its datatype as double, Length=7 and Decimals=2and it works fine but a problem arises when the decimal contains a fixed .00

This is working:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. 789.69
  2. 56.36
  3. 7853.15
When I insert new values
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. 789.00 becomes 789
  2. 56.00 becomes 56
  3. 7853.00 becomes 7853

Convert the data in to two decimal places while fetching from the table? What happens in this case?
