Well... I use the money datatype in SQL server for our prices. I have had not issues.
When we output, we use #dollarformat(queryname.price)#. Works for what we do. -----Original Message----- From: Charlie Griefer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2008 9:23 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Money datatype in SQL Server Is there any "bottom line" recommendation on using the Money datatype in SQL Server? I've googled and found a lot of folks say not to use it because of accuracy issues (and of course, the fact that it's proprietary), but I haven't seen any that suggest a better alternative. My understanding is that Money is exactly the same as Decimal(19,4)... so if there are accuracy issues with Money, wouldn't those same issues exist with a Decimal datatype? I saw one link that suggested that Floats would be the most accurate... but I thought floats were inherently *not* accurate. Can anybody shed a bit of light? Thanks!
