Dear all ,
I would like to share my concerns about the IEEE 754 specification and floating point handling by PostgreSQL .
Also I would like to learn how professional users of PostgreSQL work with rounding of monetary terms .
For all monetary values the PostgreSQL datatype NUMERIC should be used. It is a builtin datatype using arbitrary precision math.
