Kenneth Hylton wrote something about SQL or QUERYs:

I NEVER use float or double to store values like you appear to be doing.  I
always used DECIMAL so that they are stored as strings and you do not have
problems associated with what you see here.  I then have complete control
over what is stored and the precision associated with it.

FWIW, all of our financial database software stores values in either pennies or tenths of a cent, not dollars, to avoid decimals altogether.
