Yes, that's another possibility, though access to the complete number without commas would be useful too (e.g. for pasting into your favourite calculator application). > > I suspect it is a very easy change to make though, if one would want to. > > I'm not sure how the tables are generated in bconsole. > > It looks like a dump of what is returned from the database server, > without any interpretation by bconsole.
