Hi all,
I'm running PHP and PostgreSQL on a webserver to present data on the www.
I got a dataset that consists of measured values, each with a different
unit (micro, kilo,).
1. Where is the best place to store the units? In the identifier of each
column?
2. Some units are "micro gramms". Is there a way to store the special
character 'micro' (ASCII 181 / HEX B5) in the database or do I have to
use 10E-6 instead?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Regards,
Stefan Stern
