I created a Transaction table with a field Cost which is a Float type with only 2 precision eg. 123.01.
When I use the following sql statement to make a sum of this field, it returned a Float number with more than 2 precision numbers

If I should not use Float type for the Cost field, what type should I use?

For currency fields, I use DECIMAL. See: <http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Numeric_type_overview.html>

HTH!
