OK, but:

template1=# select round('2.001'::numeric);round
-------    2
(1 row)

template1=# select round('2.001'::numeric,2);round
------- 2.00
(1 row)


The good idea (in 7.2):

template1=# select text('2.000'::numeric);text
------2
(1 row)

template1=# select text('2.001'::numeric);text
-------2.001
(1 row)


This feature is missing from 7.3..

(new round function is good idea (e.g. fround(numeric))
