Another aspect of the problem is where to convert from integers to currency: inside SQL, in library routines, or in each application. At the moment my preference is that all numbers inside SQL are integers. No part of the SQL system knows anything but integer English currency, integer Euro currency, integer US currency, etc.. Conversion between integers and currency format is always done in surrounding software. But there are arguments for doing it in other ways.
