sorry again (I am not smoking crack, only drinking some good ceres...) smallint is not right (it is right for postgresql as a data type as read from the guide)... The real data type is "smallfloat" (found in my informix tables)
so, Can I safely use NUMERIC as a data type for monetary computation instead of smallfloat ??? alessandro depetro -- Coop Service Noncello s.c.a r.l. onlus http://www.mamcoop.it/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
