Hello, The choice of using Decimal was not mine but that of the modules that connect to the backends (postgres in this case), and this is one of the problems I am facing right now. Different backends return the results in different formats (Postgres: Decimal, SQLite: float... etc) I am looking into a way of normalizing the results to the same format. The issue of the datastructure that represents the results is only one part of the problem. Due to the inner representation of numbers and other factors of the different backends, the numeric results might be different, for example, postgres might return 34.7321987 while sqlite returns something like 34.732211 (rounding differentely the results). I believe we should not tamper with the results since we should trust our backend calculations, but then the tests would pass depending on the backend used (And this might even change according to tha backend's versions but I haven't tried that). I will look into this problem in depth and then write back when I come up with some solutions.
