I have a column defined with a type of FLOAT, which I believe is treated as REAL by SQLite. When selecting that column, I would like it to be returned with a leading "$" sign and always have a decimal point and two numbers after the decimal point. I can use concatenation to get the "$" sign in there but have not been able to enforce the inclusion of a decimal point and two decimal places. Whole numbers are returned with no decimal point and no decimal places. Numbers where the second decimal place would be a zero are returned with the decimal point but only one decimal place.
I tried using the round function specifying 2 decimal places but this does not affect the output. I have also tried using CAST to force the column into various other types but that also does not affect the output. Web searches suggest that the CONVERT function is available in other SQL implementations but I don't see that anywhere in the SQLite documentation. Is there a way to do this or should I plan on handling it within the application?
