Why do you consider that wrong? It's the closest approximation. Do you know of any other software that would produce 1.90 from a similar query? > Rounding to 3 decimal places, then 2 (eg.: ROUND(ROUND(1.8947, 3), 2) ) then > I get 1.90! Since ROUND() is a lossy process by definition, you cannot expect that different multi-step paths will always yield the same result. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
