Hi, I'm interested to know what data type people consider suitable for storing currency. In a table in my database for a university assignment, i have: create table Products( ... price double(4,2) not null, ...); However it has been suggested to me that double(4,2) is inappropriate and that decimal or numeric would be more appropriate. I only used double(4,2) because this is what is used in the MySQL tutorial (I think it's chapter 3 of the manual). Any thoughts on this matter appreciated.
