The money
type is deprecated. Use
numeric
or decimal
instead, in
combination with the to_char
function.
The money
type stores a currency amount with a fixed
fractional precision; see Table 8.3, “Monetary Types”.
Input is accepted in a variety of formats, including integer and
floating-point literals, as well as “typical”
currency formatting, such as '$1,000.00'
.
Output is generally in the latter form but depends on the locale.
