Decimal places in DB

Hi,

I'm having a problem with decimal places in an ecommerce website. I have
insterted the prices for products into the DB and set the decimal places to
2. The problem comes when I enter a number such as 1.50 which then becomes
1.5 in the database. This isn't a problem with my code as if i manually
insert the same figure, the result is the same. Not a big problem but as it
is for a shopping site it would be better to have the full figure (1.50)
displayed...............

Any ideas or links to solve this problem ?

Rgds
