The database should not use any thousands separators at all. But for international purposes the output may be formatted to better numbers for reading - such as "population=12 345 678". I wanted to point out especially the decimal units where you MUST NOT use decimal commas, even if they are the default within your country. -- Der GMX SmartSurfer hilft bis zu 70% Ihrer Onlinekosten zu sparen!
