Hi Listmembers,

I have two questions relating on the representation of values retieved from
a MaxDB-Database.

Lets say I have the following table:
CREATE TABLE PRODUCTS (
  PID        FIXED(10)   DEFAULT SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
  NAME       CHAR(20)    NOT NULL,
  PRICE      FIXED(8,2)  CONSTRAINT PRICE > 0,
  EXPIRATION DATE
)

And the following record:
INSERT INTO PRODUCTS
  (PID, NAME, PRICE, EXPIRATION)
  VALUES
  (1, 'FooBar', 12.2, '2005-05-25')



If I select that row from a VisualBasic-Application I will get the follwing
result (on a german localized windows):
SELECT * FROM PRODUCTS WHERE PID = 1

       PID: 1
      Name: FooBar
     Price: 12.2
Expiration: 25.05.2005 00:00:00


No my questions on that example:
1) I know that there is a way to get the price as 12.20 instead of 12.2 by
using a function (or something else) in the select-statement. Unfourtunately
I did not find the posting in the list that describes how to get this result
and although did not find a hint in the manual. Can someone please give me a
hint?

2) Is there a way to get onle the date-information (without the HH:MM:SS)
from the database into the VB-Application that is connected to the DB via
ODBC so I do not have to format the result inside the application?

Thanks & Regards
