That defeats the purpose of being able to "SELECT SUM(X) FROM ... " The aggregate query sum(x) doesn't round for me, does it? Or are you saying that I should programmatically SUM instead of using the aggregate function? I would guess it to be slow, and not to mention awkward. Think big, summing 10000 numbers or more... That error will creep up into the significant digits sooner or later..
