BCD (Binary Coded Decimal) is a rather old and inefficient representation,
but it's still used quite often for commercial software and probably
databases in this environment. As that's an integer-like representation
also, it suffers no precision loss within its validity range as would any
floating point representation. So for money people, floating point is a
no-go in every respect. 64 bit integers should suffice for some time to
come anyway.

No, I don't (didn't) know that, but as I'm not deeply involved with
databases, I had no need for such things yet. But it is good to know
anyway, so many thanks for your information!
