That's correct. Looking at the code, round(numeric) always rounds xxx.5 values away from zero (0.5 -> 1, -0.5 -> -1, etc). The behavior of round(float) is platform-dependent, but round-to-nearest-even is the rule used by IEEE compliant platforms. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
